We live in a state of constant evolution here at Third Man. Our building, our staff, our mission, and our aesthetic are living organisms. It’s not just change we seek, it’s growth, and sometimes growth happens without permission. So, when the walls of our store started to creak and groan, it was easy to figure that these were the sounds of growing pains. So, once again, we’ve unlocked the toolshed, grabbed our sledgehammers, and made way for our dear, rebellious, multiplying cells.
Today we find ourselves approximately 33.3% bigger, 33.3% happier, and at least 33.3% more able to accommodate YOU! To celebrate our growth spurt, we invite you to stop by our store on Friday for a gander at our new merchandise, a glass of celebratory champagne (for those of age, of course), a food truck picnic lunch with Riddim N Spice, and, last but not least, the moment fans of HOVA and vinyl have waited for… the limited edition of Jay Z’s Magna Carta… Holy Grail! Now YOU'RE 33.3% happier, right? Everybody’s cup runneth over.
Playing on the theme of redacted government documents and expanding it into a full, clothbound binder with the entirety of the Magna Carta…Holy Grail album spread across eight 7” 45rpm records, this piece conceived by Grammy-nominated designer Brian Roettinger is cryptographically breathtaking. It is limited to 1000 numbered sets (though not all will be released and sold on Friday) and released in conjunction with Roc Nation.
We’ll have a limited-run Sledgehammer Enamel Pin as well as a Jack the Expander Patch to commemorate. We’ll also have a handful of new, non-limited items: A new Nashville Logo T-Shirt, a Nashville Logo Kids T-Shirt, a Third Man Books Tote Bag, and a Tennessee Enamel Pin.
Friday only, we will also have every Blue and Green Series 7” at a nice price for $5, let customers “roll the dice” for a discount, and make Record Booth recordings for HALF PRICE!
The store will also feature new display systems so you can explore posters and t-shirts with ease, as well as the ability to hold quite a lot more vinyl. Change... It’s good. Growth? It’s better.
Come toast with us on Friday! We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!
Thanks for putting some of these in the Vault Novelties! You kiddos are the bestest!
feel bad we didn’t have an opportunity to buy Magna Carter in vault novelties store
No seriously…. this Ultrification of the novelties store is brilliant without exception … adding a Lillie Mae Jypsie Fortune teller machine would be the only way to top yourself Jack… YOU are making us all so proud to be fans with your commitment to excellence and your staff are all reflecting the ethos like a cosmos of radiant individuals as well… Way to go TMR FAM!!!
So… When is Jay.z playing the Blue Room?
Robin of Loxely here Sir Jack ! Genius, your are born with it, being born in a wood in the UK is damn right unlucky. ANOTHER historic moment in the life and times of TMR.
Please – if their is a god ( other than Jack ) can it be kept with the poor and not in the Castle where all the ebay rich kids live ?
The Magna Carta was signed in England, any chance a few copies can be kept for safe keeping over here? Take from the rich and help the poor discover the reality of the kingdom and of truth. Well done all involved in the project. Now where the heck is my pony ?
Am I missing it or does it not say what the price will be?
I think this Jack White guy is really going to make it in the music industry.
Always on the Top of innovation from T.M.R Great !
A special T.M.R sales in Paris in an “Ephémère Shop” will be a very very good idea !
See you at the end of May when I make my THIRD trip to TMR from AB, Canada!
It was really snug in there…those poor gals were running for their lives to get merch. Glad to see you are growing. Congrats on your business!
