Dirtys lead singer Joe Burdick claimed this was the reason Buick founded Italy Records in the first place.
[2] The label went on to release the notable 7"s from Detroit rock & roll bands, from the garage rock scene including the first two 7"s by The White Stripes (Let's Shake Hands and Lafayette Blues), the debut release from the Soledad Brothers ("Soledad), and the first single from The Greenhornes (Stayed Up Last Night).
Out of its twelve releases, Jack White featured in the production or performing of at least six.
But in 2007, the Italy label was revived with a single from very popular Detroit band The Go.
Buick and The Hentchmen also re-released the Hentch-Forth album, this time in CD format (re-titled Hentch-Forth.Five) and digitally on iTunes.
