* Mixed at [[Ghetto Recorders]] with [[Jim Diamond]]
* [[Meg White]]: drums, tambourine, cardboard box
* Jack White: vocals, guitar
* Photography by [[Heather White]]

* The White Stripes thank for their support and inspiration -- God, family, [[Dan Miller]], [[Brian Muldoon]], [[Dave Buick]], [[Ben Blackwell]], [[Heather White]], Baka, Butch, Andy & Patti, [[Marquis de Lafayette]], [[Orson Welles]]
===Notes===
* The runout groove of the "Sugar Never Tasted So Good" B-side has the inscription "PULL THE STRINGS".
* The inserts feature a drawing of Marquis de Lafayette meeting George Washington, and a quote by Marquis de Chastellux (after attending an American party with Lafayette): "This was the first time I had heard music in America and been presented at any sort of social gathering. If the inhabitants of this New World awake to a sense of the fine arts and learn to be gay and social without formal invitations and stiff introductory ceremony, they will not need to envy us anything."
==Release History==
* '''November 1998:''' US, Italy Records, 7" (IR-006) (1st pressing)
** 900 (some say 1000) copies on white vinyl, foldout picture sleeves (white front w/ peppermints, Jack and Meg pictures inside and two small photocopied inserts)
* '''November 1998:''' US, Italy Records, 7" (IR-006) (Limited pressing)
** 100 copies on red/white swirl vinyl; 15 of them were hand-painted/numbered (#1-7 by [[Dave Italy]], #8-14 by Jack, and #15 by Dave and Jack); sold at a triple record release party (along with two [[Hentchmen]] records) held at [[The Gold Dollar]] on October 23, 1998. Naturally, these records are ridiculously rare and pricy, and [[Ben Swank]] once sold a Dave-painted record for $18,000.
* '''Summer 2001:''' US, Italy Records, 7" (IR-006) (Second pressing)
** 1000 copies on black vinyl; redesigned foldout sleeve (red front w/ peppermints, car/driving pictures inside with French and English words)
* '''April 2011:''' US, [[Third Man Records]], 7" (TMR 089)
** Third Man repressed ''Lafayette Blues'' on white vinyl and black vinyl for Record Store Day 2011. The white vinyl with black swirls was a limited edition release, and was sold only at Third Man in [[Nashville]] and selected record stores worldwide. The regular black vinyl edition is widely available.
