White Blood Cells is the third studio album by American rock duo the White Stripes. It was released by Sympathy for the Record Industry on July 3, 2001 and reissued by V2 Records in 2002. Produced by guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White, the album was recorded at Easley-McCain Recording in Tennessee over three days and was their first work to be mastered in a studio. The process cost $5,000 and was rushed in order to capture a "real tense feeling" and the band's raw energy.
