White Stripes Plot Return to the Studio

After a lengthy hiatus, fans can expect the White Stripes to be back in action soon. The beloved duo, which has just revealed plans for a unique but pricy box set, is eyeing a full reunion, according to Jack White.

"We thought we'd do a lot of things that we'd never done: a full tour of Canada, a documentary, coffee-table book, live album, a boxed set. It was one long project that took almost three years," White told Vanity Fair. "Now that we've gotten a lot of that out of our system, Meg and I can get back in the studio and start fresh."

As for that box set, 'The White Stripes -- 2010 Merchandise Collection,' it's one of the most unique rock 'n' roll collectible items of the holiday season. Replete with an actual record player, headphones and a bonus 7-inch Christmas record, it is expected for release sometime this month and will reportedly retail for $499 through White's Third Man Records.
