<P> The album's themes revolve around the idea of the "death of the sweetheart" in American culture . In this album, the White Stripes expanded their style more than ever before, such as using a bass line - their rarity, piling with lead and rhythm guitar . Moreover, during the album Jack played guitar or keyboard to fill out the sound, but to the audience it still felt raw . Like other White Stripes records, the cover art and liner notes are exclusively in red, white, and black, and there is a song that contains the word "little" in the title ("Little Acorns"). </P> <P> The album has been released with at least six different versions of the front cover--different covers for the CD and LP editions in the US, the UK and elsewhere . To give an example, on the US CD edition Meg White is sitting on the left of a circus travel trunk and Jack is sitting on the right holding a cricket bat over the ground, while on the UK CD edition the cricket bat touches the ground and the image is mirrored so that their positions on the amplifier are reversed . The UK vinyl album cover is the same as the US CD but differs in that the color hues are much darker . The cryptic symbolism of the album art includes a skull sitting on the floor in the background, as well as peanuts and peanut shells in the foreground, and on the circus travel trunk appears the mark "III," Jack White's signature . Jack White is also displaying a mano cornuta and looking at a light bulb intensely, while Meg White is barefoot and appears to be crying, with a rope tied around her ankle and leading out of frame . Both have small white ribbons tied to their fingers . On the reverse side of the U.S. edition, all of the number "3" s are in red (disregarding the authorization notes at the bottom). </P> <P> The Record Store Day 2013 vinyl and August 2013 180 - gram black vinyl reissues have Meg wearing a black dress instead of the usual white dress; the only other release with Meg wearing the black dress was on the V2 advanced copy back in 2003 . The advanced copy was on red and white vinyl, while the RSD copy has red, black and white colored vinyl in 2013 . </P> <P> In an interview with Q Magazine in 2007, Jack White said, "If you study the picture carefully, Meg and I are elephant ears in a head - on elephant . But it's a side view of an elephant, too, with the tusks leading off either side ." He went on to say, "I wanted people to be staring at this album cover and then maybe two years later, having stared at it for the 500th time, to say,' Hey, it's an elephant!"' </P>
