The Black Keys release a special 10th anniversary deluxe edition vinyl 3LP reissue of their landmark seventh studio album El Camino featuring a remastered version of the original album and a previously unreleased Live in Portland, ME concert recording. The double platinum affair was produced by Danger Mouse and The Black Keys and was recorded in the band's then-new hometown of Nashville during the spring of 2011. The duo won three awards at the 55th annual Grammy Awards for El Camino – Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album – among other worldwide accolades.

Rolling Stone, which featured the band on their cover around the release, hailed El Camino for bringing "raw, riffed-out power back to pop's lexicon," and called it "the Keys' grandest pop gesture yet, augmenting dark-hearted fuzz blasts with sleekly sexy choruses and Seventies-glam flair." The Guardian said, "They sound like a band who think they've made the year's best rock 'n' roll album, probably because that's exactly what they've done."

In the UK, the record gave the band their first top 10 hit, and in the US it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200. The band was also the No. 1 most played artist at Alternative and AAA radio formats for 2012 in the US. The album's first single, "Lonely Boy": reached No. 1 on the Alternative and AAA charts; it also entered the top 10 at Rock radio. The second single, "Gold on the Ceiling," also reached No. 1 on Alternative radio and the third single, "Little Black Submarines," reached the top 3 at Alternative radio.
