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.

I’m sending that scalper’s posting via email to the Vault address. I know it won’t matter but I am so disappointed that me, a loyal fan and someone who tried and tried to score even one ticket, couldn’t and someone like that gets to scalp it for FOUR F***ING TIMES the face value.
Well goddamn. Crazy… Just crazy. Shit. Fuck. I’m gonna throw a fit, like a big ass baby! Son of a bitch I want to be in that show.
Can vault members buy from online :(????
@J264514 people like that make me SICK and it is people like that who TMR should bust. I am SO tempted to email them this info and complain!
Well, I wonder all the oversea members feel. Faaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What sucks is I’m a Vault Platinum member, I didn’t know anything about this until 4pm today, and it was too late to get a ticket. I got to Third Man right as they were closing today, and the lady told me, I was too late. Why wasn’t this announced sooner than this morning?
Will there be a sign like at Krispy Kreme when the records are delivered hot & fresh?
Things like this make me want to move to Nashville and be a Third Man creeper. Incredible concept. Everyone will work so hard that day to make this happen. It’s no joke. Here’s wishing everything goes smooth and silky.
Please use the live stream for VAULT members!!
