You are bidding on the LP + 7" single from the 2002 THIRD MAN RECORDS VAULT #13 package. 
The white vinyl LP contains the recording of the White Stripes' first-ever full live show at the Gold Dollar in Detroit on August 14, 1997. The red vinyl 7" contains 3 songs recorded on July 14, 1997, at the Gold Dollar's open-mic night. The package includes a reproduction of the Gold Dollar playbill for August 1997 on one side and a reproduction of the hand-written setlist on the other. 
"The LP for this quarter is the White Stripes first-ever live show. Recorded at the Gold Dollar in Detroit on August 14th, 1997 while opening for Rocket 455 and ‘68 Comeback, this soundboard recording is overly striking in how present and fully-formed the presentation and execution of the White Stripes was so early on. Featuring a blistering cover of the Stooges’ “TV Eye” as well as radically different versions of originals like “Screwdriver” and “Lafayette Blues,” the set is a treat for ALL Stripes fans across the world.
The accompanying 7” is a recording from the White Stripes first-ever live performance, recorded on Bastille Day, (July 14th, 1997) at the Gold Dollar’s open-mic night. Also presented in crystalline soundboard quality, the renditions of “St. James Infirmary”, “Jimmy the Exploder” and “Love Potion #9” are more of the “warts-and-all” variety, but still brim with the childish charm and a heartwarming awareness of how far Jack and Meg would journey from such an unassuming start."
