Jack White has announced the release of his eagerly anticipated new album, BOARDING HOUSE REACH. The 12-time GRAMMY® Award-winner's third solo LP and first all-new album in nearly four years, BOARDING HOUSE REACH will arrive everywhere on Friday, March 23.

In conjunction with this album announcement, we are pleased to reveal the contents of the BOARDING HOUSE REACH-themed Vault Package #35 which will be the ONLY limited edition of the new album, with subscriptions open today through January 31. The new package is highlighted by a limited edition, colored vinyl version of BOARDING HOUSE REACH that will be the only vinyl variation of the LP to be made available. Pressed at Third Man Pressing in the Cass Corridor of Detroit, the 180-gram, blue and black swirl vinyl edition features exclusive Vault-only cover art which dramatically depicts White's stylized face and is printed on arresting holographic foil paper in the classic Stoughton tip-on style. The LP is further accompanied by a unique-to-this-package 12" x 24" insert featuring the complete album lyrics.

The BOARDING HOUSE REACH Vault package also includes a two-song demo 7-inch single, offering up embryonic versions of "Connected By Love" and the album track, "Why Walk a Dog?" The former take - billed here under its original title, "Infected By Love" - was recorded entirely by White in the aforementioned Nashville apartment. White found keyboard tones on this recording that the world's most seasoned session musicians could not recreate in the studio and thus, some of those tones were sourced from this simple demo to be utilized on the final album version. Meanwhile, "Why Walk a Dog?" was recorded, like much of the BOARDING HOUSE REACH demos, alone at his private songwriting refuge. With its expressive synth and drum machine cadence, the track is overtly hypnotic even in this early state. Indeed, the "Connected By Love" and "Why Walk a Dog?" single provides a fascinating insight into White's process, revealing the creative progression of his songs from inception to completion.

In addition to the recorded material, Vault Package #35 comes with three separate and exclusive photographs shot during BOARDING HOUSE REACH recording sessions. Taken by noted photographer -- and White's longtime friend -- David Swanson at Sear Sound in New York and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, these large-format, high quality glossy reproductions are exclusive to the Vault. The photographs will be coupled with three foil-stamped poetry broadsides, printed on silky metallic papers (black, white, and blue) containing White's poems from the new album tracks, "Abulia and Akrasia," "Ezmerelda Steals the Show," and "Get in the Mind Shaft."

BOARDING HOUSE REACH Vault Package #35 will also include, for the third year running, a custom 2018 Third Man Records challenge coin, complete with album-specific artwork. The substantial and stylish coin doubles as a 45 adaptor and grants its holder 10% off purchases in both Third Man Records storefronts. Past Third Man Challenge coins will no longer be valid at Third Man storefronts once Vault Package #35 ships.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES OF THE AUCTION. I KNOW IT IS A LOT, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL ALLEVIATE ANY PROBLEMS LATER. I AM NOT AT FAULT IF YOU REFUSE TO READ OR FOLLOW THE AUCTION RULES: 
***ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT MY AUCTIONS, PLEASE ASK BEFOREHAND***

1) Payment is due within 4 days of auction end. If payment not made, an unpaid item case will be filed with Ebay.

2) Feedback given once buyer gives feedback first. If intent on leaving negative feedback or not happy with item, please email me first to hopefully come to a resolution.

3)  Not all records pressed are entirely flat; there may be a slight rise and fall to them. For purposes of this auction, they are not warped. A warped record means it is totally unplayable. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS GIVEN UNLESS THE RECORD SOLD FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY, INCLUDING RETURN SHIPPING.

4) Before you bid on an item, consider shipping costs, handling time, and other shipping services. Review the item description carefully. If you have any questions about shipping or anything else, contact the seller beforehand, NOT AFTER THE SALE!
I suggest you ask for an invoice before purchasing. If you pay for an item and ask for a partial refund, I will deduct the ebay/paypal fees before the refund because that is money out of my pocket.

5) International Buyers: I mostly ship using Global Shipping Policy. Import duties, taxes, and charges are included in the price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check the auction to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

6) International Buyers: If you can not interpret the rules of this auction due to a language barrier, you may want to have someone who understands English explain it to you. It's not my problem/responsibility if you don't understand. By bidding you are expressing to me you understand and are taking responsibility for your actions.

7)  Not paying for an item after you agree to buy it has negative consequences, explained in Ebay's Unpaid Item Policy.


8) I have no problem if you ask for a different shipping method not specified in the listing. Just be aware that I am not paying for the difference out of my own pocket.  Ask questions first and wait for the invoice before paying.


9) Combined shipping is no problem.  However, if you purchase multiple items and pay the shipping for all of them without requesting an invoice, THERE WILL BE NO SHIPPING REFUNDS, no matter what the $ amount.
                                                                                                       
10) If your payment is briefly delayed due to exceptional circumstances, let me know.

11) Delivery confirmation will be supplied. Buyer is responsible for tracking package. If package listed as delivered and buyer never received it, contact your local Post Office. Also, seller is not responsible if item is delivered and buyer did not make arrangements to secure item (ex: away on business, vacation, etc.).

12) Sealed records may be shipped outside jacket to avoid seam splits. Ask immediately after purchase.

13) For purposes of this auction, records/sleeves graded "Near Mint" means there are minor imperfections (ex: minor corner dings, creases, splits, etc.), i.e. not a perfect copy. Also a "Brand New" item can still be removed from the packaging. It's brand new whether you or I open it.

14) New records are graded Still Sealed or Near Mint (NM) by appearance.
      Used records are graded NM, EX, VG+, VG, and G for audio quality.

15) Unless noted, the picture of the item is the one for sale.


16) LP records are shipped in standard LP mailers and packed securely. 7" records may be shipped in mailers or envelopes and are secured. I sell as well as own records. Please don't ask to "ship securely, add extra bubble wrap, put it in a record mailer," etc. I understand. If for some reason you want extra secure packing (ie double boxing), it will cost extra. Wait for updated invoice before paying.

17) Finally, if a winning bidder:
Does not want it after it is paid for and demands their money refunded,
Mistakenly bid on or claims someone else did and does not want item (exception: bid retraction before auction end. If you can't figure out how to remedy situation, refer to eBay policies),
Is not able to redeem a gift card or coupon,
Claims they somehow received same item from an outside source, or
Purchased item in hand/pre-sale item and found it cheaper or from another source before it shipped to them from Ebay seller (if item is delayed beyond stated time of arrival, I have no problem offering a refund),
be advised, any ebay/paypal fees will be deducted from refund, unless auction lists "no refunds".
 
I TRY TO BE A FAIR AND RESPONSIBLE SELLER; ITS ONLY FAIR FOR YOU TO BE A RESPONSIBLE BUYER
