Third Man Records Vault #14 Jack White Blue/Black Double LP with Lenticular sleeve, Blunderbuss Demos 7" and Photo Book
Please look below (in italics) for general information relevant to this listing.
More information about this release can be found .
This is flat out one of the best Vaults released with Jack ripping through all forms of his back catalogue. Great lenticular sleeve too. Careful as there are horrible sounding bootlegs out there. Get the real and complete deal here. Everything is as new, unplayed and unread.

Over the four weeks from April 8th I will be selling my Third Man Vault packages starting with #10 and going all the way through to #35. Please see the last image to see a photo of all the Vaults I am selling. Add me as a favourite seller to get notifications of new Vault listings!
If you are looking at this listing then you probably already know about TMR Vaults. If not then, in a nutshell, they are subscription-only packages from Third Man Records (Jack White's label) that are sent out to people that are an active Vault member within a limited time window. Only as many copies of each package are pressed and sent out as there are members at the time. Once the window has closed it's over as far as availability is concerned.
These are superlative packages and generally consist of an LP (1-4 discs), a 7" single and one or more novelties (t-shirt, book, print, flags, coins, DVD, etc.). They are fun, very imaginatively packaged and always with very high quality materials and attention to detail.
I will outline here some general points that cover most of the Vaults. If there are any exceptions to these then those will be made patently obvious in the description for the individual Vault: These Vaults were kept sealed until they were very recently opened in preparation for these listings. Sounds like a crime against Jack White to neglect these, right? Not quite! I doubled up on Vaults so have always had an open one to play and these are my backup ones in case anything should happen to the primary copy. They take up a serious amount of space so I have decided to let someone else enjoy them. I struggled with whether to open these Vaults or keep them sealed but decided to open them. Being essentially hand-assembled limited-run packages I have heard of instances where items are missing, duplicate records in a double album, etc. so opened everything up to document the contents were complete and correct Typically all Vault albums are delivered sealed and with any relevant 7"s, DVDs, etc. included in the album sleeve. For this reason I have opened the LPs in order to check the contents. I have done so carefully and the shrink-wrap is still on the album. I have also put each 7" into a new poly sleeve to stop them going wandering in transit (as one ... only one ... did for me!) Unless otherwise stated, everything is unplayed, unread, unwatched and unworn. The photos with records out of their sleeves are the one and only instance they have been out of their hiding place Any imperfections will be comprehensively detailed in the relevant listing with accompanying photos. I have been collecting records for over 40 years and I a) know how to look after them and b) describe their condition properly! If no imperfections are noted then you can take it that all items in the Vault are as new. I don't use Mint for anything that has been opened (and neither should anyone else) but suffice to say that, unless otherwise stated, these Vaults have literally been sealed from when they left Nashville to when I recently opened them to see what was inside. You will not get better inspected condition than this Other than 2 Vaults (will be detailed in relevant listing), all of these are still in the original TMR mailer and that is how they will be sent to you (they made it from Nashville without incident so they are amply up to the job!) I have not used any stock photos (save for the one from the TMR site describing the contents). The photos are taken by me of the items that are in the listing These have been stored carefully in a pet-free non-smoking household
