Thinking about grabbing one off of ebay. I've just RECENTLY been lovin' Jack White's music. This album especially has peaked my interest. I've been listening to a lot of White stripes in the background while playing Borderlands. It just makes sense to me.

I'm not familiar with lenticular covers just falling off. My White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan is going 4 years strong.

Which brings me to my next point: Why hasn't Jack White invented the lenticular cover that's actually part of the jacket instead of an appendage?

I kind of wish I had gone for the Third Man Vault edition of the new Raconteurs. It is my favorite Jack White record in a looong time. Since Icky Thump for sure.
There's a snake underneath that one.

Did any Aussies get the album as The Saboteurs?

I ended up running to my local shop (rattleback records in Andersonville). They had the indie variant! I was happy to grab it. If you're local to Chicago, you should totally check them out. Great store with lots of goodies and friendly folks.
No band name info on this one, or on the last Racs LP. My guess is that is precisely the reason why. Consolers of the Lonely only had a sticker with the band name on the shrink. Sadly. Or happily, as it was one less Aussie rekkid to track down.

Nice! I haven't been there, but have frequented Reckless and Laurie's Planet of Sound. I'm further north in the burbs so my closest shop is Hip Cat Records. If I'm in Andersonville, I'll be sure to hit that one up.

I do have some lenticular covers that have stayed on, it seems like most of the ones I have though eventually fall off.

I picked up the white pressing and the centre label and insert mention its by the Saboteurs, oddly the screen printed jacket says the Raconteurs on the back.

The only TMR pressing I have is the Vault edition of Boarding House Reach, and it is sincerely exceptional. It stands out in my mind as one of the cleanest pressings I have.
But as they continue to push more volume, I could see QC issues progressively creeping in. Nature of the beast it seems and only a few plants seem to be really good at avoiding it.
I wouldn't worry. Vault pressings are all done in house now at the Third Man plant in Detroit. They do a ton of test pressings and that place is immaculate.
This isn't a joke. But I'm having difficulty pulling up a complete image at the moment.

Oh really? I googled it after you said that and came up empty as well. Saw a vague mention of something being under it on reddit but no confirmation either way.
So this picture is with the lenticular cover removed. But under that is like a white film that needs to be peeled away. You can see where they started to peel it in the center you can see some red/black behind it. IIRC The snake is red/black and is sort of smack dab in the middle there.

I still laugh to this day that someone got a copy that said "Get Behind Me Stan" on the spine:
I'm 99% sure that one was photoshopped. I know the person who posted it and he is known for posting some fakes from time to time for the lulz.
