Tomorrow marks the official release of JACK WHITE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS 1998-2016, a 26 track double LP and double CD featuring remastered alternate versions, mixes, and previously unreleased recordings from The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and Jack’s solo catalog. To celebrate, we're making a day of it in our Nashville and Detroit storefronts...
Not only will we have the only exclusive, limited edition version of the double LP available for sale (one per customer), but we will also launch new Jack White merchandise in both locations: an album cover t-shirt, new logo sticker, notebook, and a Fill-Your-Own 45 Box Born Rotten Bundle.

@Greg Pearce, with the sticker sealed ones like icky thump, rag and bone 7" from NME magazine etc. I just carefully slice the sticker to get the albums out then VERY Carefully use scissors to trim the edge of the sticker close to the album cover. That way no damage to the cover.
I can’t be sad or mad over these sweet sweet tunes, tho, for real, I love it. My daughter loves it. I hope the proceeds fund the next few monumental projects there, and good on you all. Bama out
“Novelties”. Yep.
Didn’t get a blue. Just checking, now, for future reference, the rules are, um, to be clear… what again? Pre-order super-early, like before there’s even a button to push for the item? ESPre-order? Or did I miss checking the box for “Super-Valuable Vault members And The Rest Of You Can Kiss Off”? Did I need to be a Vault member from before Gondry got in that shower? Overdraft my account to ensure that I got that sweet coloured wax? Meh. Shouting into the wind. It sounds wonderful, we’re enjoying it, and @GuyPearce, isthataseriousquestionFORREALTHOUGH
Great album!!! I wish i had waited for a blue copy but still pleased to have the album. Although I did have trouble with the sticker that is directly on the album cover. It left a layer of sticky glue on the cover and left a little mark. Was I supposed to leave the sicker on there or something
Got a Blue! Sweet. Held off on buying from eBay also
SWEET!!! Ordered mine about an hour ago :)
Thanks TMR
YAY thanks for putting the blue ones in novelties, glad i waited! I had a feeling…
