$60 gets you the quarterly package.

I imagine if you don't like the package, it's pretty easy to dump for face on Ebay or something.

I want to buy but almost want to hear the quality first. Does anyone have a sound snippet they can post a link to - anything on youtube?

Cool on the no tax thing but how can they charge no tax? They must not be familiar with Canadian tax laws?

Here's the whole thing. Unfortunately I only have it in mp3. It's a long standing boot, so I don't think there's anything wrong sharing it. https://mega.nz/#F!ZI4RCaoQ!GzTF1HaS95rkh-DcFul92g

Is that the official one though? I read that this official version is supposed to sound way better than any of the boots....

I don't think they have released any samples of the official version yet.

Sorry, can't remember the source, but I think that "review" came out of TMR somehow .... so basically a statement from those releasing it. I normally wouldn't necessarily believe it, but it's TMR.

Still waiting on a shipping notification for the last Vault, but definitely looking forward to this next one.

Awesome. I will re-subscribe for that. The JW show I saw in 2014 was one of the best show I've ever been to, so I assume this vault will be good... Better than the Bonnaroo one, just because he babbled and droned on about basically nothing for that festival performance and it kind of ruined large chunks of the album IMO.

I was at Bonnaroo and his performance was one of the best sets I've ever seen in hundreds of shows I've attended. I can understand not wanting to hear between songs banter on record, but there in the moment, his set was incredible.

I would be thrilled to buy that vinyl from you if you don't like it!

I'm sure it was amazing live. I didn't mean that it wasn't a great show for those who were actually there. If I'd been there I wouldn't have minded. But that "banter" (if you can call it that - I prefer to call it "drivel") is absolutely terrible on an album.

No, because I like the music on it (and that entire package is cool). I just really hate the talking parts. They're stupid and he doesn't pull it off. He comes off like a carny barker when he does that. It's weird. I LOVE him, but stage banter just isn't his strong suit. Luckily most of it is confined to one side of the white disc though, so it's not hard to skip most of it.
I'm just thinking that this new vault will be better because I don't think Jack tends to talk as much as he did at Bonnaroo.

I'm sorry, you don't LOVE the Johnny Depp story?? It was strange as that sort of stage talk isn't usually him. He was on a weird mood. I have the show on vinyl rip and skip on through most of it.

So I think I am interested in this newest vault, but I have never signed up. Am I correct that this is how it works: I can pay $60 to sign up and receive this vault release. Then, assuming I don't want to stay a member, I can cancel before the July 31 deadline and not be charged again?

The vault renews on the 90 days from that date you signed up. So if you sign up today for this vault, you would have to cancel before 90 days from today. A lot of people sign up close to the end of the order date so they can see if they want to opt out of the vault package if they don't like it. The vault package is usually announced in the beginning of the order month, next one will be posted early in July.

I was at Jack's Bonnaroo set, and I also own that Vault package. This set was definitley one of th nest shows I have ever been to. Yes you had to have been there to really get the whole experience. I enjoyed the stage banter a lot actually, it really fit into the atmosphere at the festival. It definitley added value to the whole experience. I watched the live stream of his Coachella set the following year and it seemed like he blasted through the songs and then got off the stage as quickly as possible. When I listen to the Bonnaroo vinyl I get transported back to the farm and that set. I can see my exact view of where I was standing in the What field. I can feel the feelings that I had during that set. I absolutely loved every minute of that set, and I hope that I can come close to that level of enjoyment for other bands well into the future..

To answer the technical Vault questions, yes you can order this one, use the member benefits for 3 months, and then cancel. I am going to wait another week before I order to that the next quarter package will be announced before I cancel. I set a calendar reminder in my phone. They should email you, but I like to make double sure.

Nevermind. Didn't even realize the previous vault 7" was a mispress

I didn't get my replacement because I didn't get this vault.
Kinda lame

Even if you didn't get the most recent Vault I believe we are still getting it replaced.

The show I saw was also one of the best shows I have ever been too, but it wasn't a festival and he kept his trap shut for the most part, and it was phenomenal.
It's just a personal thing maybe. I think JW gets a really weird thing going on when he talks on stage. He gets this weird carnival-like lilt and tone to his voice that I think sounds disingenuous and rubs me the wrong way. Plus I have never heard him say anything particularly interesting on stage, in all of the vids and recordings I've heard (I'm sure it $so happened- I just haven't heard it). So that's why I don't like it. But JW live without the banter is phenomenal for sure. That was maybe the second or third best concert I've ever been to.
