Vault package #20 -- the Jack White Lazaretto Vault package -- is now officially leaving Third Man headquarters! We are shipping in reverse alphabetical (Z-A) order by first name, starting with American Vault members, then moving to international Vault members. USPS tracking info will be sent with all shipping notifications.
As usual, please hold questions regarding package #20's status, condition, etc. until all packages have shipped, so that we can focus on getting these packages out to you guys as soon as possible. And, of course, keep your eyes fixed on your mailbox over the next few weeks!
*hear, that is
Did y’all notice our Vault album sleeve is black and white and the regular folks got a color one? Also, any of y’all here the hidden tracks yet? Stupid automatic return on my record player is keeping me from hearing them!
Just got my confirmation. I’m a D.
Just finished listening to mine (J in IN) athinkingcat, I think it is the finish. I was worried hearing ppl complain about it but it just sounds like those pops and sizzles on my old zeppelin albums.
@Notsoboo . I scowered the fine print, seems standard release is 180gm, vault makes no mention of it. Do you think the static on side 2 is intentional?
i am wondering as i have not received mine yet but could the static between songs be that matte finish? you know the way records used to sound back in the day?
When and how does Third Man let us know when all the vaults are done being shipped out? My LP has a crack and I need a replacement.
Just a post for TMR— (if they even read these) Ignore all the people who are finding something to complain about, this vault package was amazing and I love it! Keep on kicking butt and taking names!
@Notsoboo I got both the Vault and the regular version of the Ultra LP on Wednesday and I didn’t have any issues with either of them, only issue I came across was the postcard getting glued and pressed along with the sides of the inner back cover, yes I know they put a small dab of glue on the back of the postcard, but I am saying about an inch of the side of the postcard was pressed and glued into the book. Other than that I love it!
@Max, it’s not a gatefold.
@Ryan, I don’t think any of the Vault versions are 180 gram, but I don’t recall it ever saying the Vault package would be (unless you could Ben in the Ultra LP video telling Vault members that their packages would have all of the bells and whistles of the “regular” version).
Got my package yesterday. Side 1 takes some practice to get started without the needle skipping across the hologram, but it played great! Side 2 skips when the electric intro meets the rest of the track on “Just One Drink” and I have the infamous static sound across that side of the album as well. I’m interested to hear whether the 180 gram black vinyl has the same issues.
