I'm international and last name B, so I'm usually pretty close to the top.

How is the package and quality? Last one was a dud of epic proportions. 

HughFreakingDillon

haven't listened yet, and I will admit I'm no audiophile, so it's likely that, unless there are OBVIOUS issues to this layperson's ears, I'm not the one to rate it. 

the packaging is pretty cool.

Still waiting on mine to leave

I've been thinking about subscribing to Third man... some of these last few comments are giving me pause though... 


Would you guys recommend subscribing?

I just do it when I want that particular album, and then cancel immensely afterward so I’m not stuck with something I don’t want. I’ve been pretty happy with the service.

Yeah, I’ve skipped maybe a dozen vaults over the years, but anything Jack a white related I got and have been anywhere from generally happy to extremely happy. It’s a great service and other than the audio quality of the last one, it’s a very good service.

You get a quarterly package w/ their choice of exclusives, and then access to the vault releases? 


I guess I'm trying to find a way to get a jump on the vault releases more than anything else... I don't need more stuff, that's for sure.

Buy the service, sell the "stuff", keep the records.

Sort of. Every quarter they announce what will be released (we should find out Q3 in the next week or 2). It’s usually at least a double record and a 7” or dvd. Sometimes it’s just records, sometimes it’s another piece of ephemera like a shirt or a flag or a screen print. 

Being a member gets you access to a vault store of exclusives. There isn’t much there right now. Also, when tickets for Jack shows go on sale, there is a early sale. Sometimes it comes with perks like early show access, to get rail.

Thanks for the info, guys. 

I think I'm going to roll the dice & try a year... I won't mind getting some vinyl I wouldn't normally get otherwise. I also like the idea of the presale tickets.

Do it on a quarterly basis. Sign up close to the cutoff and you can see the next package before you re-up. Cant remember the last package I snagged but I’ve been been pretty satisfied with most Ive acquired.

FR181798

Arrived today but not even opened yet. Been a subscriber since day one. Probably skipped about 10 or so. Usually a relief when its something I dont want because it is expensive. A lot of the extras unless in a box  I have sold. t shirts, bandanas etc I have no interest in, also been a couple of LPs Ive sold because I just wanted the 7 inch. Dont think Ive ever lost money with the vault when reselling. Ive kept every White Stripes and Jack White related LP & 7. The ones where it is an album you can pick up a regular version for $20 arent the best. After the first couple of Vaults the packing boxes got a whole lot better. Massive custom boxes, really protective but have to say they have really gone backwards recently although probably better than most plus they have good customer service and will replace bits if anything is damaged. Only bought a couple of things through the Vault store, spare Pearl Jam LP etc. Overall Id really recommend.

Vault #48 arrived today. Great package. I have every vault except for the Mono Icky Thump in Vault 1. One day I will suck it up and pay big for it to complete the collection.
