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!
Ok this genuinely made me laugh out loud.
So I can use a hatchet, machette, potato peeler, paint mixing attachment on my cordless drill, or my electric meat slicer?
LOL. I could have used this advice because I forever scuffed the cover of Acoustic Recordings trying to take the sticker off.
I’m gonna use the pizza cutter I stole from Little Caesar’s. Pizza Pizza!
LOL
Dammit! It’s forbidden by law for people like me to own a exacto knife.
Is it possible to shoot it open with my shotgun?
Otherwise I have to ask my mama to open it. And come on… that would be ridiculous for a 58 year old guy.
Can’t wait to eat this record. yummi
Wow
I can’t even bear to look at that second photo. But now — we can all open ours with the TLC it deserves. Can’t wait!!
Thanks. I did try to remove the sticker when I received my JW Acoustic album so def worth letting other members know.
Thank goodness you told us! Sadly, though, I don’t own an exacto knife, so will also be going with option 2. I’m sure it’ll be fine.
