A White Stripes' single just sold for a whoppin' $18,000.
The band released its second single "Lafayette Blues" a dozen years ago, with a performance at the Gold Dollar in Detroit. There was a delay in printing the sleeves, so Jack White and David Buick, head of Italy Records, the label that released the single, hand-painted 15 covers. Copies sold for 6 bucks that night. Over time, these precious 45s and their unique covers have been the Holy Grail of White Stripes collectors.
The Third Man Records site reports that one of these records just went for $18k.
