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.

In line at one of 3 Reckless Records, hoping for a lytho!
Pre ordered this week’s ago and by the tracking number I will not have it until Tuesday. Should have just waited for it to hit my local record store. BTW I only live 2 to 3 hours away from the Nashville store.
Listening to the album now and it’s as beautiful as expected. Thanks, Jack and Third Man! I was all Jack White all the time from like 13 – 23 so there’s lots of nostalgia happening this morning. <3
Been listening to Jacks Acoustic Recordings all evening on Spotify and just love it.. Thanks so much.. Wish I could be at the shop tomorrow for all the festivities, but I’m in Chicago taking care of sick old dog (Wilson). He needs me and his time is short. Hope everyone has a great time and looking forward to my preorder vinyl and the other goodies ordered.
TMR thanks for the happenings at local shops. Looking forward to getting out tomorrow!

Got my black vinyl today and I couldn’t be happier. Blue schmue, it sounds beautiful.
Glad to know I’ll be missed ;-) Just pre-ordered the black vinyl and I’ll be satisfied if it sounds as good as the limited edition… cheers from PA!
@Drebin, keep your fingers crossed that there will be leftovers like the Muppets 45, I am!
I’ll be thinking about all of you whooping it up at the TMR & TMRCC celebrations. May it be a beautiful & memorable day for you all!
