The White Stripes Unveil Special 20th Anniversary Vinyl for “Get Behind Me Satan”

The White Stripes Celebrate 20 Years of "Get Behind Me Satan" with Special Vinyl Release

Days after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2025, The White Stripes have announced a celebratory 20th anniversary vinyl release of their iconic album Get Behind Me Satan, scheduled to drop on June 27 via Third Man Records. The limited edition 2xLP, featuring one striking red smoke vinyl and another clear with red and black smoke, captures the raw essence that defined the Detroit duo’s sound.

Originally released on June 7, 2005, Get Behind Me Satan stands as a pivotal work in The White Stripes’ discography, introducing fans to hit tracks like "Blue Orchid," "My Doorbell," and "The Denial Twist." This anniversary edition will include all 13 tracks from the original release, allowing new listeners and long-time fans alike to appreciate the duo’s distinct talent anew. Pre-orders are currently available, adding to the anticipation for this collectible piece.

Earlier this year, the band unveiled a companion release titled Get Behind Me Satan XX, a substantial 2xLP bundle that includes additional goodies: a 7-inch, a Blu-Ray of their 2005 Central and South American tour, and an array of songwriting demos and alternate takes. This exclusive release was available only through Third Man Records’ The Vault subscription service, further solidifying the band’s commitment to their cult following.

Looking back, the album not only peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 but also received Gold certification from the RIAA, proving its lasting commercial success. The White Stripes previously honored this milestone with a limited edition 10th anniversary vinyl reissue in 2015 for Record Store Day, highlighting their enduring legacy.

Frontman Jack White remains an unstoppable force in the music world, with a lineup of tour dates stretching into fall 2025. Highlights include performances at Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville and Riot Fest in Chicago, where he will undoubtedly showcase his dynamic musical prowess. This year, White was also celebrated as the 2024 Artist of the Year, a testament to his impact on contemporary music.

As fans gear up for the vinyl release, The White Stripes continue to remind us why they remain one of the most beloved bands of their generation. The 20th anniversary of Get Behind Me Satan is not just a commemoration of the past; it’s a live wire connecting the band’s storied history to an electrifying future.
