Elephant (album)

Elephant is the critically acclaimed fourth album by American rock band The White Stripes, released in 2003.

The album debuted at #1 in the UK and reached #6 on the Billboard Album Charts in the U.S., while it received very enthusiastic reviews and won Grammys for Best Alternative Album and Best Rock Song ("Seven Nation Army"). Its other famous songs include "The Hardest Button to Button" and their cover of Bacharach & David's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself".

It was also placed 39th in channel 4's 100 greatest albums

Cover art
The album has been released with at least six different versions of the front cover. To give an example, in the U.S. CD (not vinyl) edition Meg White is sitting on the left of a circus travel trunk and Jack is sitting on the right holding the cricket bat over the ground. Another example is the UK CD release in which the cricket bat touches the ground and the image is mirrored so that their positions on the amplifier are reversed.
