Friends, family, fans, and followers (known as the 4Fs in the “Biz”) of Third Man can welcome a late summer/early September flurry of activity and releases beginning no sooner than… right now. Let”s dive right in shall we?

Released Aug. 20th:

Yes, the very song Pokey played on his LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN last month. Pack up your portable record player and sit by the Ohio River blasting this gem of a tribute to living in the good ol” Midwest, featuring super snazzy artwork, and non-album B Side “St. Louis Crawl.” Sitting at the crossroads of early jazz, country blues and western swing, these two homegrown tracks are enough to make any damn yankee, mountain man or California dream reconsider their stomping grounds.

The White Stripes – Elephant Reissue LP

This is the official release date for the long-awaited reissue of The White Stripes fourth album and major label debut. TMR is pleased to announce that this 180 gram black vinyl version has been mastered direct from the original, analog source for the 2002 recordings at Toe Rag Studious. The discs come housed in a double-gatefold sleeve, with printed inner sleeves and an MP3 download card. This album dedicated to the death of the sweetheart is still as poignant today as when it was originally released 10 years ago. We draw a firm line here… you can”t consider yourself a White Stripes fan without this record on your shelf.
