Remember those cool White Stripes "Conquest" singles we told you about back in November? (Not the Spanish one, though that certainly is cool too.) You know, the ones with the B-sides featuring Beck? Well, when the singles were originally released, they were available only on 7" vinyl and digitally.

That was fine if you were a record collector or a downloader, or one of the increasingly few stores that sells vinyl, or a digital music outlet. But what if you wanted to own those precious B-sides on CD? What if your store doesn't sell vinyl or downloads? WHAT THEN?

Best Buy to the rescue! Starting this week, the big box ogre is selling a five-track "Conquest" EP, featuring all of the B-sides. It's available as a free bonus if you buy Icky Thump from Best Buy, or you can purchase the EP all by itself. (Sorry, if you already bought Icky Thump from Best Buy, you can't go back and get the EP for free. Them's the breaks.)

Thanks to Anthony Miano for the heads up.
