How many Vault subscribers are there here in the land of Pearl Jam?...
Anyone get a Triple Decker?..."Snoopy died for our sins" says he has one "on the way" but has yet to divulge the means by which he acquired such a rare item.....still hoping my 12" purchase turns out to be a triple....not holding my breath though...

I too hope that my 12" purchase turns out to be a triple decker as well. Not sure what the hold up on shipping these is though. Today has been two weeks since my order was placed and nothing yet at the doorstep.

And of course "snoopy" has one on the way :roll: :roll: :roll:

I've noticed a shit load of these vault "packages" on eBay. People signing up for access only to flip the stuff they get just pisses me off. :evil:

Well, since Jacky really encouraged it I don't see the big deal. Also, if you don't like the stuff that's in a particular Vault package, why not sell it?

The last time I checked that stuff was goin for pretty reasonable prices.

Yes jack does say go ahead and sell it if you don't like it...I would think "encourage" was overstating it a bit...but you are right in saying he's all for it.....I guess what I find..."suspicious" shall we say...is the number of "still sealed" vault packages for sale....and not just the latest edition.....which means the person hasn't ever listened to it to know weather they liked it or not..your not going to know unless you open the fucken thing!.....I think the triples were a classic example of this....these were being sold out of Nashville on ebay the day they were purchased from thirdman.....and get this.....some of the so called "bricks and mortar" record stores that received copies to sell have also put them up on ebay! They haven't been made available to individuals to purchase in store.....Now That really pisses me off! :evil: Yes I am cynical to the whole process of people "flipping" vinyl....I've been gathering vinyl for many years and its always happened....

got my vault package a few days ago, awesome indeed. love the dvd as the third item this time, great idea. can't wait to see what's in store for next quarter. i feel like christmas comes five times a year now... rockin'.

they just loaded this new radio interview w/ the white stripes from november 2000 in new zealand into the "modplayer". this shit is priceless. it's a half hour of interview, performances, and hilarious Q & A from crazy new zealand callers. for a fan who believes she's heard pretty much everything that's out there that's to do with JW, i was afraid i would've seen/heard a lot of what would be posted, but it's all stuff i had no idea existed. and of course exclusive new content made especially for us subscribers. this is why i love the vault.

i would love for pj to do something more like this... although i don't know if i could afford it!

btw, last month i won a drumhead autographed by the Dead Weather from a record store day contest i had entered. that made my year.

Vault package #6 announced.
Check the page for details.

edit: Here it is... I think I'm going to sit this one out, I'd rather spend the $60 on the upcoming Into the Wild and Singles soundtrack vinyls coming out.

"Vault Package #6

It is with the utmost pleasure we are proud to announce to you the contents of Vault Package #6 (“City Under Siege”)

The long-playing 12” vinyl is a collection of demos recorded by the Greenhornes in preparation for their “East Grand Blues” EP released in 2005. This session, recorded in Nashville (on 2/3/04) at the same studio used for Loretta Lynn’s “Van Lear Rose” album, contains radically different and some altogether previously unheard Greenhornes tracks. The stand-out, in this copy-writer’s mind, is their unparalleled assault on James Brown’s “I’ll Go Crazy” addressed with vicious amounts of Blue Cheer fuzz frenzy. The ‘hornes version of this song has been a staple in their live set for years and it’s a treat to finally make it available on record. The whole thing was mixed by Jack White who’s also been known as an amateur haberdasher.

For your 7” serving we’ve decided to spare no expense...can you smell that picture disc? It’s the White Stripes “Hello Operator” b/w “Jolene” made available on vinyl for the first time in several years! Now we know all of you die-hards already bought the original picture disc the day it came out (yeah, right) so in hopes of keeping those original picture discs special we’ve re-jiggered the artwork with some new (old) images. You like Meg White sitting next to her bass drum? CHECK! You like the flipside peppermint to be from Meg’s bass drum and not the huge peppermint laying next to her? CHECK! You want the fade-out from “Hello Operator” done away with so you can hear Jack and Meg speed up the ending and Meg’s opinion of how that take fared compared to the others? CHECK! You want the Stripes striking cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”? The one that’s been a live favorite for years? CHECK! What more could you ask for? Circus peanuts? That’s absurd. You KNOW we just sold out of those!

In an attempt to further marry the two products in this package we’ve decided to dig up a classic (and relatively unknown) t-shirt from the White Stripes/Greenhornes “Your Southern Can Is Mine” tour from 2001. No one we know actually has one of these t-shirts, but for the sake of keeping those originals special (us, again with all these considerations!) we’re printing this shirt on a classy white-sleeved, black-bodied baseball style t-shirt. These things are SHARP.

Sign up is open NOW and we’re already hard at work to get these things to you as soon as humanly possible. Enjoy the fruits of our labor."

i think it would be hardto top the dead weathers live album...but a strips 7" is cool
