-	'''Icky Thump''' is the sixth album released by ~~[[Detroit]] rock duo~~ [[The White Stripes]]. It was released on June 18 (~~UK and~~ Europe ~~only~~) and June 19, 2007.	+	'''''Icky Thump''''' is the sixth album released by [[The White Stripes]]. It was released on June 15, 2007 (Germany), June 18, 2007 (the rest of Europe), and June 19, 2007 (the rest of the world). It is the band's first album on Warner Bros. Records.
		+
		+	''Icky Thump'' entered the UK Albums Chart at number one and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 223,000 copies sold. By late July, Icky Thump was certified gold in the United States. By the end of 2007, 1,235,000 copies had been sold world-wide making it the 39th best-selling album of 2007. As of March 8, 2008, the album has sold 725,125 copies in the US.
		+
		+	The album recieved mostly positive reviews by critics.
		+
		+	==Promotion and release==
		+	To promote Icky Thump before its release, the band distributed custom-designed boxes and previewed tracks from the record through Ice Cream Man. The ice cream promotion focused on the Coachella, Sasquatch, and Bonnaroo festivals and culminated in the band's release show on June 20, 2007 at the temporarily rechristened "Icky Thump Records" in West Hollywood.
		+
		+	In addition to being released on CD and 180 gram vinyl, the band released the album on a limited edition 512 MB USB drive. There are two versions, one of which depicts Jack, the other depicting Meg. The pressing was limited to 3,333 of each, and were shipped the week of the U.S. release. Each drive contained the album in Apple lossless format.
		+
		+	The 180g vinyl edition contains alternate versions of both "Icky Thump" and "Rag and Bone". "Icky Thump" is a slightly different mix to the digital version and is also edited to be 14 seconds shorter. "Rag and Bone" is also a different mix but in addition contains totally different vocals for each verse (possibly the original guide vocals and there are no vocals from Meg) and is missing the harmonies from the last chorus, resulting in the track seeming unfinished.
		+
		+	The sound quality of the digital versions of Icky Thump has been a hot topic surrounding this album - it has been criticized by some saying the songs have been mastered too loudly and without using peak limiting. Critics claim this results in clipping or "digital distortion" which can be heard during any of the tracks (particularly during bass drum hits) as nasty crackling. The vinyl version was mastered by Steve Hoffman, a highly respected audiophile mastering engineer.

-	* The ~~album’s~~ title is a ~~morphing~~ of the ~~phrase~~ "~~Ecky thump~~" ~~which is~~ an exclamation of ~~surprise or wonderment in northern England~~.	+	* The title is derived from "ecky-thump", a Lancashire colloquial response of surprise, popularized by an episode of the 1970s UK comedy series The Goodies. On the show "Later... with Jools Holland" (broadcast June 1, 2007), Jack attributed the album's name to its use as an exclamation by his wife, [[Karen Elson]], who is from Lancashire. He added that the deliberate misspelling was to make it easier for an American audience to identify with. The liner notes for Icky Thump also suggest the spelling variation was due to concerns over copyright infringement. Ironically, the pearly costume "theme" that the band used for this album is a traditional Cockney outfit, somewhat contrary to the Northern dialect of the title.
	* “I’m Slowly Turning Into You” is possibly the first song to be written based on a video treatment. This was inspired by one which was given to the White Stripes by Michel Gondry which features Jack walking, followed by many other people. The people start off looking like Jack, and then slowly look more and more like Meg. At the end of the line of people is Meg.		* “I’m Slowly Turning Into You” is possibly the first song to be written based on a video treatment.

		+	And so sorry to anyone we didn't mention, or anyone else we've misled,
		+	And lastly you're welcome,
		+	To anyone who might've thanked us instead,
		+	You're welcome to anything we've got left in our head,
		+	It's more yours than it's ours, be it white, black, or red,
		+	If it chooses to come out,
		+	From now 'til we're dead.
