During a quick break in Vault assembling, we came across an article from December 2015 that slipped past us. It's a ranked list of every Vault package up to #25:
"If you enjoy vinyl, then at some point you have probably seen some of the forward progression that Jack White and Third Man Records have done over the last several years to help propel the resurgence of wax in everyone’s home.
The vault subscription service was launched in 2009 and is definitely part of that movement. Once a quarter, platinum subscribers receive a package in the mail that contains a Vault LP, a Vault 7″, and a Vault Novelty. The Novelty varies from quarter to quarter and has included t-shirts, posters, concert DVDs, and many more unique items.
Given that we enjoy both White and vinyl, TFN thought it was a great idea to take a look at the last 25 offerings and rank them. So without any more discussion we present the Third Man Records Vault Packages – Ranked!"
We now know what The Fire Note thinks about past packages, so the question is: what are your top Vaults?
My first Vault package #13 is my favorite one.
Loretta Lynn is one I can’t stop playing ❤️ But honestly, I love them all for different reasons.
Jack White live at Third Man. Any of Jack’s or his band projects really.
Jack White and The Bricks live at Garden Bowl Lanes is my first and favorite vault package
My top three:
1) JW live at Third Man
2) JW Bonaroo
3) WS Amazonian
Icky Thump Mono is my most prized Vault package
1) Bonaroo
2) Under the Rising Sun
3) Under Amazonian Lights
I’ve gotta second Koala’s enjoyment of demos/outtakes and dislike of “limited versions”, as well as the love for every package being unique from the rest.
1)Bonnaroo
2)Amazonian
3)Willie
My favorite has to be White Stripes Live in Mississippi. Just a fantastic album.
