INSTRUCTIONS ON OPENING THE VAULT #33 ICKY THUMP LP

INSTRUCTIONS ON OPENING THE VAULT #33 ICKY THUMP LP

Hello Platinum members! You will soon receive your Vault #33 package and we want to make sure that you are prepared to enjoy it once it arrives on your doorstep. (Don't worry, tracking information will be emailed to you next week once we begin shipping!)

The Icky Thump x2 LP is sealed with a sticker, and the Vault team has showcased photos below on how to correctly (and incorrectly) open the LP jacket to retrieve your records.

First, we'll show you what NOT to do:

1. Do NOT try to peel the sticker off (trust us on this).

2. Do NOT try to tear the jacket in half (we tried...it didn't work).

3. Do NOT try to light the jacket on fire (it turns out that heat and vinyl don't mix well).

FINALLY, here is the CORRECT way to open the sticker seal on your Icky Thump x2 LP:

Simply take an exacto knife or similar blade (be careful!) and delicately slide it along the seam.

If it still seems confusing, please reference this video (showcasing the Jack White acoustic LP):

Voila! You now know how to successfully access your new Vault release. Get your turntable ready, your box set will be with you before you know it!

Well, the video wouldn’t play so I’ll have to use my own ingenuity to open my vault package… Which means I’ll wing it!!! Wish me luck.

And here I have been opening my vaults the wrong way all these years….

Seems simple enough for a J.H.S. student! Then again, that may be expecting too much! I’m not gonna risk it.
Looking forward to this Vault package!!

2. Do NOT try to tear the jacket in half (we tried…it didn’t work).

Wait.
Are you sure?

Here’s a revolutionary idea, don’t apply this pointless sticker in the first place. This will allow pain free easy access to these records! Try it, you’ve done it for other Vault packages.

Gordon Schmude

That was funny.

Avard

the sticker CAN come of using certain non toxic chemicals and a small paint brush and PATIENCE
