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.

Kali,
Yes! I went back yesterday morning to pick up my copy. It’s beautiful and sounds sublime.
Apparently I missed the delivery by a mere 5 minutes on Friday! Oh well, going back gave me an excuse to load up on some more 45’s in a Born Rotten case ;)
By the way… did anyone notice the esoteric numerology in the release date? Jack’s (III) 3rd album… (III) + (III) + (III) = 9… 9/9/2016… 2+0+1+6=9… 9+9+9=27… 2+7=9.
My new Favorite album release from TMR <3….I hope Jack performs solo sometime like that at Cass <3 he needs to christen that stage. The performance on Fallon last night so perfect and pure. Amazing!
I’m envious of those who got to attend the festivities in Nashville and Detroit… But, next best thing – I got my copy in the mail yesterday. Can’t stop listening. It’s so beautiful.
KURT: Did you go back to Cass Corridor? The truck got there mid-day.
Supported my local record store, paying ten dollars more…and happy to do it! Thrilled with this double compilation. A beautiful testament to “our” gifted songwriter, Jack White-chapter and verse. Amen and amen.
happy lithograph owner in seattle. black vinyl sounds sweet sweet sweet.
Anybody hear whether or not Detroit had tracked down the FedEx truck yet?
No blue vinyl this morning but a happy line none the less.
A friend just drove by the Nashville shop & called to tell me people were lined up all down 7th Avenue. Looks like no blue vinyl for me…
Rough Trade is having a listening party at 5PM in Brooklyn! You can also buy the album and be entered to win a signed copy!
