RECORD STORE DAY AT THIRD MAN RECORDS: JACK WHITE & THIRD MAN RECORDS PRESENT…
T H E W O R L D ’ S F A S T E S T R E L E A S E D R E C O R D
LIMITED EDITION “LAZARETTO” SINGLE TO BE RECORDED LIVE, PRESSED & RELEASED APRIL 19 FOR RECORD STORE DAY
On April 19th, Record Store Day, Third Man Records will present Jack White recording the World’s Fastest Released Record, studio-to-store, in the history of mankind.
You heard correctly. First thing in the morning, Jack White will take the stage in Third Man's blue room and record direct-to-acetate what will serve as the limited edition version of his next single, a live rendition of the title track from his upcoming LP Lazaretto. The masters will be rushed over to United Record Pressing who will immediately begin pressing 45s. The sleeves will be printed from pictures taken at the show. The finished records will be whisked back to Third Man to sell to awaiting fans. All in the same day. All in a matter of mere hours. As long as there are fans in line waiting to buy the single, United will continue to press and deliver them to Third Man to sell. Even if it takes all day.
In addition, Whirlwind Heat will appear at Third Man to play their first live show since 2006 (and likely their last ever), as their TMR classic Do Rabbits Wonder? LP is reissued on a variety of colored vinyl for Record Store Day.
Plus a great selection of local vendors will be on hand to keep everyone well-fed and refreshed… and there will, as always, be some surprises.
Tickets for this whole day —“Ultra Tickets” — are extremely limited and will be available exclusively through The Third Man Records Vault to Platinum Members. Ultra Ticket holders will get to watch Jack White live recording his World’s Fastest Record, Whirlwind Heat’s afternoon performance, and will receive copies of both The World’s Fastest Record 7” and the Whirlwind Heat Record Store Day LP release — all without having to wait in line! Vault Platinum members who are ticket holders need only show up, see Jack White play, hang out for a bit and eat, watch Whirlwind Heat (last show EVER??) and then, as they leave, pick up their bag with both RSD releases. No lines. No stress.
For those who can’t score tickets, The World’s Fastest Record will be made available for sale from the front of Third Man Records as soon as copies are pressed. Anybody who shows up that day during business hours wanting to purchase a copy will get one. Third Man promises to deliver until all customers are satisfied (one per customer, obviously!). The World’s Fastest Record will only be available at Third Man Records on Record Store Day. One time only!
Ultra Tickets for Record Store Day will be available via The Vault Pre-Sale ticket store at 3pm CT today, Thursday, April 3rd. JUST A GOLD SUBSCRIBER? SIGN UP FOR A PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP HERE.

We had us a great time at RSD at TMR , eh new friends and old?
just arrived home yesterday and started listening lazaretto…thank you for blowing out my mind…awesome show..and elvis cover was the cherry on the top…This will be a record to listen as loud as possible. Can´ t wait ´til june 10th. Thanks to all the wonderful people I met there…Jack see u in TX.
What an amazing day. Thanks Jack and everyone at TMR for always putting on a fantastic day. That show was incredible and if the new songs are any indication, this new album could very well be his best. “Would you fight for my love” nearly brought tears to my eyes and that was before any lyrics. It’s a truly special song. Thanks again, and let’s do tickets again next year! It made everything much easier!
Any chance this will be available for purchase to vault members? I’d love to have this historic recording even if it’s a reissue. I’d hate to buy on of the 2+ dozen on ebay for $100+ and then see them here for a reasonable price.
Jack 4 ever in my <3 !!! Love
Just got home from the airport, unpacked in under five minutes, and am now spinning The World’s Fastest Rekkid as loud as my neighbors can stand it. Jack, puh-leeeeeeaaaaaaaase with Bang Candy marshmallows on top, please make Power of My Love a set staple when you hit the road. At the very least, could’ya please play it in Pittsburgh &/or Detroit? Ok, done begging (for now), let’s see how many times my neighbors can stand to hear live Lazaretto.
The fact that the B side is Elvis’ Power of My Love is quite possibly the best part of all of it and there is already so much. Completely blown away is an understatement.
BRAVO JACK!!! You are a fabulous and awesome man !!! I really love you xXx
JACK!!! Holy hell, you rocked my socks off. After being awake for over 30 hours because those darned trains up on Fogg St kept blowin’ my dreams away all Friday night, I had to head back to my hotel when RSD was over and crash. But now that I’m awake again at 4am, I had to let you know how many people I talked to after your set who said that the new tracks we heard blew Blunderbuss away. You rocked ALL our socks off and June 10th is tooooooo far away. The runout groove of the live Lazaretto 7" made me laugh. And thank you ever so much for the crazy b-side, I’ve been having a serious Elvis infatuation lately so the experience of you tearing through that tune just about blew my already over-loaded li’l mind. You know you’re an alien just like he was, right? You are, darlin’, it’s time to admit it.
Congratulations! Proud of Jack & TMR!
Any way to make the release available to Platimum Vault Members? That would be awesome.
Love from Tulsa, OK! :) x
