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.

Blue Room maximum capacity is around 192 (or very close to that number…saw it on a sign above where TMR peeps take your ticket to enter the Blue Room). Fire Departments in Nashville are very strict about maximum numbers allowed in clubs. Clubs get randomly inspected during shows and can be busted for breaking the rules. So have fun you couple hundred.
Anybody who knows how many fans there is room for in the blue room? Looking forward to see you other lucky ones there :-)
@Rick – Just depends on the release. They have some RSD stuff from 2 years ago left and other sell out to the 5th person in line. Just depends on how popular the release is and how many copies they got.
Those of you that have done TMR for RSD, do the rest of the local Nashville record stores sell out of the RSD exclusives early?
@toeknee89 yeah may be a few crazies camping…but NO NEED TO. Schedule a meet up in advance and hang out in a bar or something instead!
@knoxvle ahh danngg i was looking forward to tailgating with enlightened TMR folk!
@toeknee89 there’s not really a bad spot in the blue room cause of it’s size.
So staying overnight etc is kind of pointless.
@knoxvle @STL_Ben camping out is kinda part of the RSD magic, does this mean no PreRSD camp party at all!?! :( Surely someone wants a crack at dead practical center stage
I SO wish I could be there – dang!!! To all lucky enough, have a great time! At least he is coming to St Louis in July and I’ll get to see him for the first time ever!!! :)
@STL_Ben I couldn’t agree more!
I was looking forward to camping but I would much rather have a warm bed and guaranteed spot for a show :)
