Is This Jack White’s Rarest Release Ever? | Discogs

In late 1997, an aptly-named teen trio called 400 Pounds of Punk recorded a handful of tracks in a makeshift home studio at 1203 Ferdinand Street in Southwest Detroit. The track list is a sparse four songs, including "Mr. Bigglesworth," a name borrowed from Dr. Evil's cat in the Austin Powers movie series. An unlisted hidden fifth track is a rude cover of Blondie’s "One Way Or Another" with vocal duties shared by the band’s lead singer Jamie Cherry and one of the session engineers, a then-unknown Jack White. The cassette, titled 'He Once Ate A Small Child,' is as far as I can tell the rarest physical release of a Jack White performance. And prior to the mention here, the release was completely undocumented. I doubt more than a half-dozen people even knew about it. - Ben Blackwell of Third Man Records The cassette EP is in the Discogs Discography, but has never been sold in the marketplace: https://www.discogs.com/release/12626544-400-Pounds-of-Punk-He-Once-Ate-a-Small-Child -- Unlock the ultimate record collecting experience: https://www.discogs.com/about/get-started/ SUBSCRIBE: youtube.com/discogs Check us on Social @Discogs: Follow Discogs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discogs Follow Discogs on X: https://twitter.com/discogs Follow Discogs on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/discogs Follow Discogs on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@discogs Follow Discogs on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:elr6bawnjt7ebgb2cvi75dhy #discogs #cassette #JackWhite
