Introducing Vault Package #39 - SLEEP LIVE AT THIRD MAN RECORDS
One of the biggest stories in rock music this past year was the unexpected return of Sleep with the surprise April 20th release of their new record The Sciences on Third Man Records.
As lifelong fans of the band (and OM, and High on Fire, and Neurosis...) we were nothing if not honored to be the label that released their first album in nearly 20 years. This record not only cemented the band's legacy but built upon it by pulling off the rarest of returns. It was insanely good. Not only were they here, but they were better than ever. The Sciences is spiritual, speculative, messianic and heavy as all hell. Rampant touring ensued, and if you have seen them live this past year, then you know there are among the most powerful bands working today.
Just last month, on December 12th, Sleep brought the roadshow to the Third Man headquarters in Nashville and recorded over 2 hours of career-defining material to a live audience using our direct-to-acetate / audio mixed and mastered in real-time system. Seven, count them, seven lacquer cuts later we are prepared and excited to announce that a QUADRUPLE Sleep live album of songs spanning 26 years of their career is our next Vault package. Proceed the Weedian...
The set will be presented on 4 different colored vinyl (purple, orange, blue, green), each in their own individual jacket all housed in a sturdy slipcase. A reproduction of the poster from the show, and a mystery Sleep / TMR mission patch completes your set.
Sign up HERE before Jan 31st or miss out... forever. We estimate that packages will begin shipping in March.

Found a lot of great new-to-me artists by way of Third Man but this one is just not for me.
Well third man fine then, just keep taking my money. I might be more stoked for this vault package than any that ive recieved yet. Too sick.
So unbelievably excited for this. Sleep are amazing!
I’m going to assume we’re getting our 2019 coin? Is it safe to assume that it goes without saying we’ll have our 2019 coin?
I joined the vault subscription the second I saw this. I can’t wait to have my hands on this!!
Can’t wait for this!
Wait, no challenge coin this year? Sad face.
@Dwayne Fear not—“each in their own individual jacket all housed in a sturdy slipcase.”
Sleep didn’t sound like a band I would necessarily be into, but I was in the Nashville store one day when The Sciences was on the PA system and I was intrigued enough to leave with the album. I have to be in the right mood to listen to it (e.g., not a dancing mood), but when I am I love it. Love Leagues Beneath, too. They’re not for everyone, all the time, but sometimes they just hit the spot.
Hell of a release to start my Vault subscription with! Can’t wait to hear this
