20 years ago this week, The White Stripes released their ground-breaking album Elephant, and to celebrate the anniversary, Steve Lamacq plays the album in full as part of the 6 Music Album Club. 

Elephant was The White Stripes’ fourth album, released in 2003 through XL in the UK and V2 in the US and elsewhere. The album was recorded at London’s Toe Rag Studios in a single two week period - with the exception of the album's final track ‘Well, It's True That We Love One Another’, which was recorded separately at the same studio, and their version of ‘I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself’, which was recorded at the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios. The Detroit duo went back to basics with the album, using an 8-track tape machine and recording equipment predating 1963 instead of computers.

The album starts with the song that took over the world, Seven Nation Army, now a stadium chant known around the world by football and soccer fans alike. It peaked #6 on the US Billboards 200 while also topping the UKs official album chart and won Best Alternative Music Album at the 2004 Grammys.
