Lazaretto, Third Man pressed a limited run of promo only 7”s of the instrumental track "High Ball Stepper."

Y’all will find anything to complain about. “oh my 7 inch doesn’t have enough swirls, oh thats too hard of a question, oh the vinyls don’t look like the picture, waahh not enough opportunity to get the good stuff.” If you’re not satisfied take your $60 elsewhere. Try to find another artist/record company that tries as hard as Third Man to please its fans. You lost, boo hoo. I seriously doubt this is the first time any of you have not won a contest and by now you should know how not to be a sore looser. Congrats to everyone that one though!
Just got mine out of the mailbox! Thanks Third Man! It’s beautiful!
STL-Ben…oops. I do have to admit I made my comments on the wrong news page…should’ve been on the Vault Ticketing Policy page. Do have to admit, I do get short, in temperament, when I have to hear RA on any of JW’s recordings = makes me cringe. / O. Lord I need to take a long TIMEOUT from making comments here…like until fall.
STL-Ben, Just playing with ya and getting in a little dig in on RA. I won’t be able to follow Jack anymore if he keeps that person around = that irritating to me! Plus a lot of folks are making their own recommendations for ticket policies that work better for everyone = adding my 2 cents. :-)
PS: Only recommending TMR have that ‘very strict rules policy’ for really special shows with pre-sales like the one coming up on RSD 2014.
@cinci are you short? Think that went right over your head.
STL_Ben, Good to see you bringing things back into perspective. Yes, I am waiting to hear the “Entitlement” song too but if Ruby Amanfu is singing on it or any other songs on the new release then those songs will be ruined for me since I really, really, really don’t care for her singing voice, especially when she’s singing with/over Jack’s singing. To each their own as they say. /// Love the idea of TMR only selling one ticket per vaulter and then, if TMR really wants to be strict, they could make sure no one got a ticket until they were right there at the door to go into the Blue Room = ‘ALL WILL CALL’. Once a vaulter got their ticket and wanted to mingle in the hallway or go to the bathroom instead of going into the Blue Room that could be permissible but if they left the building, strict rules should say that they couldn’t get back in to the building. At least with those strict rules at least 192 (max capacity) individual valuters would be able to get into a show in the Blue Room. I’m all for going to a show alone and meeting and making friends while there = how I’ve made a lot of new friends in Music City, USA.
Whats the name of the new song on Jacks album again? Entitlement? Cant wait to hear that one.
In defense of my “husband” avard, there’s not an elitist bone in that body. He’s one of the most open and generous people I’ve met through Jack’s music. But if he’s frustrated and has been chasin’ snakes, there’s no telling what might come out, bless his l’il/big heart.
