The White Stripes have continued their recent single-mindedness with the announcement of the B-sides to come with various versions of "Icky Thump", the first single from their forthcoming album of the same name.

The single comes in three different forms: white vinyl 7", standard 7", and CD. As previously reported, the white vinyl version will come with an etching on the B-side that serves as a companion to the etching on the "Rag and Bone" single that will come packaged with the June 6 NME. The standard 7" B-side is "Baby Brother", and the CD features "Catch Hell Blues" as track two.

"Icky Thump" will hit the U.S. and Canadian iTunes stores tomorrow, and Third Man/XL will release all three physical versions of the single on June 11 in the UK. The Stripes' festival tour, meanwhile, kicks off June 1 in Germany.
