The White Stripes

Recent details of the album 'Aluminium', an orchestral reworking of The White Stripes' music, have been revealed. Music

from 'Aluminium' looks set to soundtrack a ballet piece at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden this November, after

choreographer Wayne McGregor chose selected tracks to use in his production.

Tracks included on 'Aluminium', include versions of 'Astro', 'Little Bird' and 'The Hardest Button To Button'. In keeping

with Jack White's fondness for the number three, only 3,333 CDs will be released, along with 999 LPs, plus an unlimited

download format, complete with an electronic booklet.

'Aluminium''s influence has also spread to the art world. Artist and White Stripes collaborator Rob Jones has created ten

images to accompany the album, copies of which will be packaged with the record, while the originals are currently being

exhibited at the Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester.

The tracklisting for the album is as follows:

'Aluminum'

'I'm Bound To Pack It Up'

'Why Can't You Be Nicer To Me?'

'Astro'

'Never Far Away'

'Little Bird'

'Let's Build A Home'

'Who's A Big Baby?'

'The Hardest Button To Button'

'Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)'
