Did he get anything he wanted?

Not sure what was on his want list, but he dropped some cash and sent me a video of his haul

Just spun mine. Pretty cool 7" to hear the different versions. The audio on the 12" is so-so but that's to be expected since it was recorded in a bowling alley 14 years ago

Haven't watched the DVD yet but overall it's a solid addition to the collection. Interesting to hear how they all sounded back in the day. The best is after the first song you hear like one person go "Woo!" and that's pretty much it, ha.

my new vault lp is warped as shit. it plays, but I got a bit worried when it began with what seemed like a commercial and then morphed into Dead Leaves. But I see on the liner notes that this what is supposed to happen.

I was having a pretty crappy Friday. Then I got home and greeting me was my Vault package, Ten Club Single and the Thirdman 7" Brittany Howrd and Ruby Amanfu single. All this turned my day around big time. Now a halt on buying anything until RSD.

The 12" white LP is warped pretty bad. It plays, but did skip twice due to the severity of the warp. I might have to contact the Thirdman customer service people.

My record was slightly warped too. Seems like there are a few with similar issues.

Pearl Jam_ie · March 2013

My Bricks album also has a slight warp to it but plays fine, so it doesn't bother me too much. A few Vaults ago, I had my albums get warped really bad from sitting in the sun in front of my house all day while I was at work. I contacted customer service at Thirdman and they hooked me up with replacements at no charge to me for anything. All I had to do was send some pics of the damaged vinyls and within a few days, I had new ones. Can't beat Thirdman's customer service.

the dvd is kinda shitty. it's like home movies with a smattering of some live songs. half of them barely audible due to the crappiness of that other band. but the White Stripes stuff is cool.

I'm not trying to sound like a guy complaining about his diamond shoes being too tight, but I think there might be a reason most bands don't release stuff like this. The sound is so poor it's barely listenable. The last vault with Jack White at TMR was terrible sounding, and I'm no audiophile. Not one bit. I usually like something even if it sounds like it's from cassette, but man, why put something on vinyl if it sounds like this? Dead Weather live at TMR sounded awesome. And the dvd that came with it was incredible. What's the sound like on the WS live in Mississippi vinyl?

Mississippi and Live in London are the absolute best. I'd put Mississippi as #1 of all the Vaults I have heard. The rest are hit or miss.

You must've got a bad pressing of that Jack White record. Mine sounds really good, and if I remember right there were some pressing issues with some of them.

Not a big fan of the lower quality stuff that's been put out from them either. The dvd's aren't watchable and while the White Stripes B-shows isn't intolerably bad, they put out Live at Mississippi.

Live at Mississippi sounds great, but Jack's voice is in pretty rough shape. Live at London and Sea of Cowards Live are both great packages.

Just a heads up. I was able to repair my warped record, by laying it under a heavy stack of records. I left it there for two days. I just put in on my turntable and the warp is gone.

So for some reason I started with side 2 of the Bricks and just got around to listening to side 1.

Does anyone else's side one start with a lady talking about Walk America and healthy babies?
It's literally an out of nowhere public service announcement that gets cut off after a minute. dead leaves comes in then there is a brief second where the last starts talking again.

Weird.

...not sure if there was a reason. It sounds like that was taken from a local Detroit radio station. Probably just trying to mess with the listener. Typical Jack White style.

i just tonight got around to listening to live at third man and it does sound really good.

Has anyone ever gone to one of the Rolling Record Store stops? I went to one of the "B" shows last year when Jack played in the middle of the woods at Outside Lands, but I didn't bother waiting in line for the truck.

They're coming to Hollywood on Wednesday afternoon on their way to their TMR pop-up shop at Coachella. Just wondering if it's worth checking out.

63schoefflin · April 2013

I went in Philly about a half hour before it opened on a weekday and there were 40 people in front of me. I'd say if you want some of the rare stuff you need to get there an hour before.. At least. But they do have some cool stuff to snag.

Vault 16 looks pretty sweet
