Third Man Records Vault #34 (White Stripes Live In Detroit)

I went from this being a must have to up and the air. Curious as to whether any of these shows were iconic in anyway, or have we heard it all before.

 

Bump ^

 

Ended up keeping my subscription for this one, must admit being a little more excited after going to Devil's Night at the TMR Cass Corridor store last night and seeing the blackboard of current pressing jobs up in the pressing plant with the full set in the first three slots. Feels good for this to be a Detroit-based release, pressed in Detroit.

 

Just got my shipping notification on this one. To be honest I had nearly forgotten that it was due soon.

 

Should be out of label mode and into the trucks by the end of the week. Really hoping it gets here before next Tuesday, these things shipping right before the holidays are always a real crapshoot for those of us who travel this time of year.

 

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Weird, bc I thought they shipped Z-A. I'm a C. I was one of the last to get the previous Vault.

edit: Just read the whole email, "Reminder: we are shipping in alphabetical order (A-Z) by last name."

 

What was the title of the email? As far as I know I haven't received an email with the tracking number and if they were shipped by users last name I should have got mine by now.

 

The email title is 'Vault Package 34 Shipping Information'. I received my email on the 7th of December (surname beginning with H). The package is showing as having been processed in the city next to mine this morning, so it looks like I will have it on Monday (possibly Sunday as Canada Post are doing additional deliveries at this time of year).

 

If you have Gmail, mine always goes to the Promotions tab.

 

I looked all through my email but didn't find it but the vault came in today.

 

My Live at the magic stick is really messed up.

 

What's wrong with it?

 

About three skips on side one and I'm not finished side one yet.

 

That's not good. Hopefully it's something that can be cleaned and not permanent

 

Damned Alphabet - Mine won't arrive until Monday or Tuesday...

Hope we get some more Reviews before then.

 

From the TMR collector’s page on FB, looks like US deliveries got up to about L or M?

 

My last name starts with H. Just received Vault 34 yesterday Dec 16. Playing Live at the Magic Stick right now. Vinyl seems to be flat and quiet. Recording is a little bit rough for the first song but then gets better. Will update after listening to all 3 LPs. I would of prefered the bigger box style case rather than the slip case, its a bit tight.

 

Personally, with about 5+ Vault boxes that range from large to massive eating up a huge chunk of shelf space, I'm grateful for a little relief this time around.

 

Yeah it sounds like the tape was damaged.

 

Yeah I will give it a good clean tomorrow. Everything else was fine.

 

My package arrived this afternoon (thanks to Canada Post and their Sunday deliveries ). It's a very nice looking set and the records appear to be well pressed (no visual issues; haven't had a chance to play them yet). My only complaint so far is that the inner sleeves have all split on the sides and at least one has split on both sides.

 

Just finished listening to all three LPs before cleaning. All were quiet and flat, one side was slightly off center. All three sound great, raw live recordings, what a great set!

 

Skipped this, this go around. Judging by the commentary, it seems to be my loss. Would love to hear opinions on the special moments of a certain song and/or pictures of the set.

 

My favorite right now is the complete live version of White Blood Cells, great performance and well recorded.

 

Awesome. So glad to hear some good reports. Thanks

...hopefully mine makes it here tomorrow!
