On June 14th of this year, Jack White unleashed arguably the single best performance in the 13 year history of the Bonnaroo festival.
In an expansive field in Manchester, TN, filled with approximately 70,000 fans, White let loose a tour-de-force, 26-song, two-hour and forty-five minute career-spanning set. From White Stripes songs like “Hotel Yorba” and “Icky Thump” to Raconteurs numbers such as “Top Yourself” and “Steady, As She Goes” through “Blue Blood Blues” by the Dead Weather…not to mention a wide selection of his solo material and covers of two surf rock classics “Pipeline” by the Chantays and “Misirlou” by Dick Dale. And Led Zeppelin’s “The Lemon Song”? He did that too.
In order to celebrate a show of such historical heft, Third Man Records has decided to dedicate the entirety of it’s 22nd Vault package to this performance.
Three vinyl LPs (white, blue and black), housed in a soft-touch, telescoping box, topped off with a lenticular television on the cover…this is by far the most ambitious Vault package yet. The audio has been mixed by Third Man’s in house engineer, three time Grammy Award-winner Vance Powell and stands as a marked improvement over the on-the-fly board mix heard in webcasts, YouTube uploads and shady downloads.
In addition, there will be a DVD of the FULL performance, re-edited from the original raw footage by Brad Holland (filmmaker extraordinaire), for a truly memorable visual document of the evening.
We could’ve stopped there…but anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right?
Also included in the package will be four high-quality 8×10 photographs from the evening shot by David Swanson. Suitable for framing, timeless, these will increase the value of your home tenfold.
(said to the guys in production) “Is that all? NO?!?!? Are you kidding me? What else could we offer?”
Apparently we’ve lost our minds and gone as for to include a customized Jack White patch, a replica backstage pass sticker AND a poster in this beast of a package.
You want a custom-designed USB with super-secret extra added bonus materials too? Have at it.
If this package doesn’t make you happy…nothing will.
Subscriptions are open now, get yours in before the October 31st deadline.

Philip Selway has unveiled a visually striking video for new single “It Will End In Tears”. Made in conjunction with Northern Film & Media and the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, the video is the creation of RAMMATIK, aka Rannvá Káradóttir & Marianna Mørkøre, a Faroese film duo at the forefront of artistic filmmaking. With an experimental approach they have developed a distinctive visual online casino identity, resulting in international recognition and awards. Click here to watch.
The video for “It Will End In Tears” follows the release of Selway”s video for “Coming Up For Air”, a hazy, perception-altering visual offering that accompanies the hypnotizing majesty of his new albumWeatherhouse“s lead track.
Both “It Will End In Tears” and “Coming Up For Air” are included on Selway”s second solo album,Weatherhouse, which will be released October 7 on Bella Union. Preorder Weatherhousehere.
Selway will make his United States television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airingOctober 9 at 11:35pm EST on NBC. During this performance, he will be joined by the legendary Dap-Kings to perform Weatherhouse material.
September 10, 1964, some 50 years ago, The Kinks had their first number one with the classic “You Really Got Me” and the rest is rock n roll history.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, a must-have 5-disc box set spanning the peerless output from that landmark year through 1971 will see a December 16 U.S. release via BMG/InGrooves.
The Anthology 1964-1971 features over 100 songs across 5 CDs, the most comprehensive collection of The Kinks seminal 1960s and early 1970s Pye label recordings ever released. Newly remastered, the box set features rare demos, interviews, alternate mixes, session outtakes, 25 previously unavailable tracks and extensive liner notes all in a beautiful box set.
This essential release includes many timeless gems including “You Really Got Me”, “Stop Your Sobbing”, “All Day And All of the Night”, “Till The End of The Day”, “A Well Respected Man”, “Sunny Afternoon”, “Dead End Street”, “Waterloo Sunset”, “David Watts”, “Autumn Almanac”, “Days”, “Picture Book” and “The Village Green Preservation Society”.
The Anthology 1964-1971 is arguably the crown jewel of an extensive re-release program covering the band’s classic 1964-1970 catalogue. The first installment was last month’s 2-disc expanded edition of 1970’s “Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One” featuring Mono and Stereo mixes, unreleased material and alternative versions, the 1971 soundtrack album Percy and more. The Kinks 50th Anniversary campaign will continue through 2015 with additional projects and reissues to be announced as details are confirmed.

ALL TRACKS PRODUCED BY RAY DAVIES
There was a minor equipment mishap, specifically with his guitar, and in an effort to keep his audience engaged, he made a joke! It was meant to be funny and self deprecating: “hey sorry, you’re stuck with just me up here…” vs the Foo Fighters who have three guitar players on stage and regularly play stadium shows.
Jack has the utmost respect for the Foo Fighters and communicated with Grohl this morning.
So if you’ll let us, we’ll all continue with our day and we assure you: All is well in the rock n roll world.
The single features an A-side of the same name, which is also the lead single from the Oct. 14 release. Exclusive to Scion AV is the B-side: “Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo’ Bye),” a non-album track that can also be downloaded via the link above. A limited run of 500 seven-inch vinyl and a video for “Reminisce” are forthcoming.

Bathtub Love Killings (Oct. 14, Third Man Records) is the debut solo LP from Olivia Jean, the multi-instrumentalist who cut her teeth in the Third Man stable backing folks as varied as Karen Elson, Wanda Jackson and Jack White in addition to fronting the much-loved Black Belles. Jean has accrued a lifetime of experience in a few short years, from highlight performances on The Colbert Report, Conan, Late Show With David Letterman and the Grand Old Opry stage to having one of her songs used as the theme for the television series Elvira’s Movie Macabre.
Produced by Jack White, Bathtub Love Killings showcases Jean as a songwriting force to be reckoned with. Playing damn near every instrument she could get her hands on, the result is a well-rounded, catchy record that’s chockfull of earworm moments. About Scion Audio Visual:

“NEWis as apt an album title as you’ll find: Not only does it announce McCartney’s first batch of original songs in six years, it also celebrates the idea that pop music can still invigorate, inspire, and surprise — even if you had a hand in inventing it.”—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Released in October 2013, NEW was greeted with rave reviews all around the world. In both the UK and US it entered the album charts at Number Three. Within months it had sold almost a quarter of a million copies in America alone and counting. NEW also went Top 10 in 17 different countries including a Number One position in the Japanese charts. Since its release it has achieved Silver sales status in territories including UK and France, Gold status in Japan and Platinum in Russia, to name just a few international sales achievements.
This special collector’s edition is packed full with exclusive content that tells the story of the making of the album as well as capturing unique moments during the international promotion campaign which saw Paul make global headlines by creating traffic stopping moments in the US and UK with pop up performances in New York and London.
Channeling the spirit of adventure that has forever characterized McCartney’s approach to making music, NEW was born out of his collaboration with a bunch of young British producers whose records he rated. Paul Epworth, who had enormous, Oscar-winning success writing with Adele on her album 21 and on their James Bond theme Skyfall. There was Mark Ronson, the DJ/musician who had helped the late Amy Winehouse create the classic Back To Black. And there were Ethan Johns, the son of Beatles engineer Glyn and himself a renowned producer, and Giles Martin, son of Sir George and a previous collaborator with The Beatles on the Las Vegas theatrical production Love.
The original idea for the then-untitled project was that Paul would work on a few songs with each, see who he felt most comfortable with and inspired by, and proceed with that producer. But such was the flood of ideas, and so strong were the songs pouring from Paul’s fingertips, that he decided to take the best of all worlds: he’d work with all four producers. The result was one of the most ambitious and acclaimed efforts of Paul’s solo career—an album hailed by Rolling Stone as “the music of eternal youth… energized and full of joyous rock & roll invention” as its title track, “Queenie Eye”, “Save Us” and “Everybody Out There” quickly became staples of the McCartney live set.
This story is perfectly told in Paul’s own words as well as those of the producers in “Something New”, a documentary about NEW directed by Don Letts, which features on the DVD.
The release of NEW saw Paul and his band perform a variety of intimate concerts along with some surprise huge events for good measure. This special edition relives some of the highlights including the opening of the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, a Hollywood Boulevard performance, pop up shows in New York and London, an intimate album Q&A filmed at The Shard in London, two concerts in one day at BBC’s iconic Maida Vale Studios, chat show performances and footage of Paul bringing London’s Oxford Street to a standstill at a signing session at HMV’s flagship store.
CD 1 tracklisting is the same as the original 14 track deluxe edition released last year. CD 2 includes two previously unreleased tracks (“Hell To Pay” and “Demons Dance”) taken from the album recording sessions as well featuring “Struggle” which was previously released as a Japanese bonus track. The second CD also includes live versions of “Save Us”, “New”, “Queenie Eye” and “Everybody Out There” recorded at the Tokyo Dome, Japan in November of last year.
Along with the documentary and a collection of behind the scenes footage from Paul’s international promotional trail, the DVD also include all the music videos for “Queenie Eye”, “Save Us”, “Appreciate” and “Early Days”, with ‘Making Of’ material for “Queenie Eye”, “Appreciate” and “Early Days”.

He has written countless hit singles, orchestral scores, released electronica albums, film theme songs and changed the world with his music. Listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Most Successful Composer and Recording Artist of All Time, Paul McCartney has now added another first to his impressive list. No stranger to being involved with hotly anticipated releases, Paul has now entered a new genre all together.
This week saw the release of the most highly anticipated video game of the year – Destiny. Years in the making, Destiny is the biggest entertainment property of 2014. Earlier this week, fans were queuing through the night to get their first glimpse. Stores across the world opened early in order to meet the demand. Made by Bungie, the studio behind Halo, and published by Activision, the company that brought you Call of Duty, Destiny is expected to change the gaming industry. The hype surrounding this release demonstrates how the entertainment industry is overtaking Hollywood.
The continuing success of this market and the scale of Destiny is further underlined by the fact Paul McCartney has written the game’s end title theme song “Hope”, as well as working on the soundtrack. Throughout his career, Paul has always looked at ways to reach new audiences with his music and has never been afraid to try out new ideas or platforms. This is the first time that Paul has ever written for a computer game and he has likely started yet another trend for the world of popular music. Paul teased fans with a tweet in 2012 confirming that he was working on a project with Bungie but this week, following the game’s release, the wait was over for fans when “Hope” started to appear on the Internet.
Produced by Giles Martin, “Hope” is as epic as the game itself. Following the positive response and reaction to the track, it is confirmed today that the track will get an official release later in the year with more details to be announced in the coming weeks.
