It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White. It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist's musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play.

Don't miss seeing Jack White in this Davis Guggenheim directed documentary that opens in select theaters in Los Angeles and New York on August 14th, with further showings in theaters across the US after that.

On September 18th, the Toronto Film Festival will host the premier of The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights, a film documenting the band's tour across Canada in the summer of 2007.  Directed by Emmett Malloy, who had worked with the band on past music videos, the film captures a very unique look into the on and off stage lives of Jack and Meg White through a series of shows which included not only traditional venues, but also matinee gigs at unusual performance venues such as a bowling alley, on a boat and even on a city bus - culminating in a momentous 10th anniversary show at the legendary Savoy Theater in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.

The tour showcased in Under Great White Northern Lights was born shortly after the release of their 6th and most recent album Icky Thump, when The White Stripes embarked on a tour that would allow them to perform in every province and territory in Canada, from B.C. to Newfoundland to Nunavut. With this goal in mind, the band welcomed Emmett Malloy on the road, providing him unprecedented access which enabled him to create the very visual and emotive feature length film, uniquely capturing one of the world's biggest and certainly most enigmatic bands playing to crowds in towns of all sizes across Canada.

In a captivating mix of striking live footage and poignant off-stage moments, this documentary is a celebration of The White Stripes' 10 year history, bringing the band full circle in their career to a place reminiscent of how they first started out; shows where no one knew who they were, and where they were left to make a first impression with their music.  With this compelling view into the bands career, Under Great White Northern Lights will in turn allow fans to reminisce about where they were when they first heard The White Stripes as well as adding another impressive piece of work to their already stunning artistic cannon.

Apologies to those of you that have purchased any of the "Conquest" seven inches in the USA as they had incorrect stamp stickers placed on them by the factory. As you can imagine, the holidays prevented us from finding this out right away and have also provided us with the challenge of getting it corrected in a timely fashion as everyone was away on vacation until recently. Existing stock will now feature the correct stickers and should be ready to ship by early next week. For those of you who already possess your copies, a "Conquest" stamp sticker can be mailed to you if you send your full mailing information and which singles you purchased to whitestripesvinyl@gmail.com. Thanks so much for your understanding, patience and continued support. Happy New Year!

Conquest singles: featuring three exclusive new tracks, recorded with Beck. There are three 7" vinyl formats - one black, one white and one red colored vinyl. Each single will include a Mondo Toro trading card featuring matadors El Sloth, El Bianca Rosa and El Perdedor. Also included: a different poster for each 7" designed by Rob Jones.  Buy all three singles and receive a limited-edition Conquest 7" slipmat.

These singles are available as a pre-sale item. Records will not ship until after Christmas due to delays in manufacturing.
