Seven mere days into the new year, Jack White, not surprisingly, is already announcing new releases, the latest from The Dead Weather. White and the band are currently in the studio recording a second album, the early sessions of which they’ve turned into a new 7″.
Don’t go speeding off to the record store just yet though. The single, which features takes of new tracks “No Horse” and “Jawbreaker,” will only be available through the Third Man Records Vault subscription service, and the package is well worth the price tag.
A subscription will buy not just the Dead Weather single, but also a double LP with every Third Man release from 2009 and a couple new goodies as well. Rockabilly’s First Lady, Wanda Jackson, recently collaborated with White on an album’s worth of material, and two covers—Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good” and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates’ “Shakin’ All Over”—are available through the service. Additionally, a single from female garage-rock group Black Belles, discovered by White, will be available via the subscription.
Lastly, don’t forget about the forthcoming White Stripes live box set, which is currently available for pre-order at the Third Man site.
