Signed DC b/w I've Been Loving You Too Long Recorded in Detroit in September of 1997 a mere two months after the Stripes' live debut, this single provides a heretofore unheard era of the band. Although their debut single ‘Let's Shake Hands' wouldn't be released for another eight months, this recording shows how fully-formed the general idea, aesthetic and approach of the White Stripes was from the very start. (On Vault CD 100) |

The Hardest Button to Button [Beck Remix] b/w Hang You From the Heavens [Homme & Lanegan Remix] We could fill up reams documenting the accomplishments of Beck, Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan, but we'd rather just tell you that for our 7" this quarter Beck remixed the White Stripes "The Hardest Button to Button" while Homme and Lanegan tag-teamed a remix of the Dead Weather's "Hang You From the Heavens." Our minds are already blown and yours will be too when this hot puppy lands in your hands. (On Vault CD 100) |

Dead Leaves b/w Let's Build a Home 7" Recorded during the tracking for their self-titled album in 1999, the White Stripes' “Dead Leaves” and “Let's Build a Home” are versions markedly different from the ones that would eventually be recorded and released on White Blood Cells and De Stijl. This piece is truly for the fans and getting songs like these into their hands was the explicit reason the Vault was created. (On Vault CD tbd) |

Hand Springs b/w Red Death at 6:14 7" Red/Black Vinyl Released for Record Store Day; April 21, 2012
- Continuing in the mission of reissuing the nuggets of the White Stripes' back catalog, Third Man plays Dr. Frankenstein/matchmaker to two stand-alone songs from the high time of the year 2000. “Hand Springs” was originally released as a split-single with the Dirtbombs and included free in issue #19 of Multiball magazine. “Red Death at 6:14” was initially released on the Jack White-produced compilation “Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit” in 2001 and was later made available as a one-sided single from the folks at MOJO magazine. Both songs are quintessential White Stripes jams and finally pairing them together here makes (arguably) one of the best Stripes singles ever. (On Vault CD tbd) |

Under Moorhead Lights All Fargo Night DVD Ralph's Corner Bar, Moorhead, Minnesota; June 13th, 2000 - this previously unseen footage captures the band immediately following the release of their sophomore album De Stijl on what was their first extended bout of touring across the United States. Performing for only a handful of people, the show is heavy on the band's earlier material with a spirited cover of Iggy Pop's “I'm Bored” being of particular excitement and note. |
||
The bonus item for this Vault package is a DVD of the White Stripes titled Under New Zealand Lights. Made up of two different performances by the band on separate trips to the island nation, we find them performing at the King's Arms in Auckland in November 2000. This is some of the earliest known footage of the White Stripes outside North America (it was their first international tour) and finds them confident and captivating before a unexpecting crowd. |

| The Raconteurs | ||
The Raconteurs live at Third Man! In what easily qualifies as the most intimate gig of their career, the Racs' return to stage after a nearly three-year hiatus provides a blistering and bombastic document to the magnetic power of this band in the live arena. The effusive crowd, the crack horn section and brief jam on the Who's "I Can See For Miles" are all included here. Life doesn't get much better than this. |
||
Open Your Eyes b/w You Make a Fool Out of Me 7" The 7” for this shipment features previously unreleased recordings by the Raconteurs from their Consolers of the Lonely sessions. “Open Your Eyes” b/w “You Make a Fool Out of Me” are two songs that would later be re-recorded and repurposed for Brendan Benson solo albums. “Fool” would appear on Benson's 2009 release My Old Familiar Friend while “Open” is featured on his upcoming album What Kind of World under the title “Here in the Deadlights.” The versions on the 7” are not outtakes, demos, b-sides or anything of a cast-off nature. Rather, they are songs that just did not find a spot on the LP. (On Vault CD tbd) |

| The RaconTWOers & Brendon Benson | ||
On Record Store Day, April 17 2010, Brendan Benson and Patrick Keeler along with Mark Watrous and Andrew Higley performed a re-worked set of Raconteurs songs in celebration of the re-release of Broken Boy Soldiers on LP at Third Man Records. 20 Flight Rock. |

Third Man Singles Compilation: Volume III - 2011 2011 was a massive year for us and it takes THREE LP's to fit all of our singles inside! We regrettably had to omit our Green Series singles from '11 because a 4 LP set was something we weren't ready to tackle just yet. Track List? |

Karen Elson - Third Man Live: May 24, 2010 On the evening of May 24, 2010 we celebrated the release of Elson's debut LP The Ghost Who Walks and backed by her crack band. What was captured was a truly ethereal, vibrant recording that breathes a life into the songs that is wholly different from their studio versions. |
||
Karen Elson - Milk and Honey 7" milk and honey colored vinyl Released for Record Store Day; April 21, 2012
- Karen Elson delivers a haunting version of the Jackson C. Frank gem “Milk and Honey” that brims with atmosphere and undeniable feeling. The b-side is a trucking version of Bonnie Dobson's “Winter's Going” that warms to the core. Another direct hit from Miss Elson. (On Vault CD tbd) |

Third Man's 2010 Devil's Night DVD Our wild card entry for Vault #10 is the mighty-impressive visual document of Third Man's 2010 Devil's Night party. Filled with live performances from the Black Belles (their first time on stage!) and the Greenhornes (conspicuously looking like ZZ Top) MC'd by the vivacious Elvira (Mistress of the Dark), the evening was something those who were in attendance will not soon forget. Coupled with sword-swallowing, fire-breathing and the fair amount of zombies and the undead (but enough about our interns), the footage on this DVD gives an inside look at the festive activities and will be required viewing for even the most casual fans of the bands, label, movies or food. |
