Jack White/ThirdMan/THE VAULT

I received my Vault 19 today. It was sad seeing such a little box show up.

I bet you'll feel different when the next package starts to show up in the next two weeks or so

Yep #20 is why I LOVE Third Man

Are they supposed to be shipping #20 for release day? I didn't think they would. I'm still expecting it in early July.

This is what I'm wondering as well.

I would be VERY surprised if these are shipped by release date. Thats why I have already pre-ordered the std. version.

I wouldn't expect them by release date either. What's meant by "purpose and timing of the announcement"? It's pretty much the same timetable they've stuck to for all the other Vault packages. I think it's moved back a few weeks from the early packages, but they've stayed closer to one every three months than I would've anticipated.

I mean that by the timing of the announcement that they hoped to have the vault package in the hands of people on or close to the release date. And the purpose was to drive up sales as well. Obviously I was wrong to think that might happen. Just figured that not everyone buys 3 different version of an album and some people might actually use the package.

20% off this weekend

I got an email today saying that addresses needed to be updated no later than May 26th so they can assemble and prepare shipment of Vault #20... It also says it will be shipped by reverse order of the alphabet by First name. All us shipments will go out first then international will go out in the same order following the completion of the us shipments. I am thinking this will ship sooner rather than later.

My first name starts with A and I'm international. I now have a written guarantee that i will be the last to receive Vault 20, lol.

While I feel bad for you... that was funny!

Which public statements did he make that you disliked enough for them to affect your good opinion of him?

So now he's been "forced" to apologize for his opinions about particular artists? I actually never knew anything about this, but I actually have lost a tiny bit of respect for him for apologizing for some honest comments he made, and chances are he was making some good points about the artists that he listed in that statement (but I haven't lost enough respect for it to make a difference - this kind of thing is stupid in the first place so I wouldn't have cared either way if I had known what he said). The only time i would disapprove of things one artist says about another is if they are doing it out of jealously or delusion (like Billy Corgan, for example). Sounds to me like Jack simply had some justified opinions. I don't see why he or anyone else should apologize for that or made to feel like people think that makes him a fucker.

Wow, I didn't even know he had kids.... does he??

.... The BK kind of did rip off the WS's sound now that I think about it, lol (I don't like the Black Keys, can you tell? Lol). These comments just sound like normal random private comments said largely in jest to me. I have never heard about domestic abuse, as I don't pay attention to the private lives of musicians, but I'd have to see the evidence for this before making judgement.

Walking off stage is unexcuseable though.
