    Hi, any idea how to distinguish this one from the 2008 pressing? I am not sure which one I own.

      It's only since owning this release that I understaood the title of the album being Elephant. That stomping kick drum is ridiculous.

        I own this since day one, and it sounds bombastic, it throws tons of energy at you!!!!!

          You don't have to write anything about the music - it's a dream. But the record is magnificent. A perfect example of how a record can sound. I am absolutely thrilled. A dynamic like I have rarely experienced. Many thanks to everyone involved.

            On the subject of his and Meg White’s 2003 album, White says:
            “Did you know the British sleeve of Elephant was made out of recycled elephant dung? We forgot to tell people about that at the time.”

              Any sibilance on this album? The US press has bad sibilance on 1 or 2 tracks.
