WHAT IS THE VAULT?
The Vault is a social networking and physical product subscription service for Third Man Records.

WHAT DO I GET WITH THE VAULT?
Above and beyond the basic free level of access, The Vault is a two-tiered service.

For the $7 a month Premium Membership (three month minimum) you get unlimited access to all online Vault services. These include:

  • First chance for pre-sale concert tickets
  • Exclusive streaming video content and video blogs from all Third Man artists
  • Official Modblast chat rooms
  • Exclusive Photos
  • Exclusive blogs from Third Man artists
  • Pay-Per-View live concerts of Dead Weather, Raconteurs, White Stripes, and more

    For the $20 a month Platinum Service (three month minimum) you get:

  • All of the above online content
  • Every quarter (every three months) you will receive exclusive subscription service only releases
  • This includes one (1) Third Man 12” LP, one (1) 7” record, and one (1) t-shirt.

    These will only be available through The Vault subscription service and will not be distributed to shops, not will they be available from our online mail order service.

    HOW DOES THE PREMIUM SERVICE WORK?
    WE WILL TAKE SIGN UPS FROM JULY 1ST TO JULY 21ST.

    At the end of the registration period we will tabulate the amount of subscribers and press up the exact amount we need to fill orders. When all vinyl is complete, we will send out your package directly to you. Every three months we will offer fans the chance to become Platinum Members. Existing Platinum Members will automatically continue with their memberships.

    $20 A MONTH FOR THREE MONTHS?
    That’s $60! Don’t you guys know we’re in a recession? Why should I spend my hard-earned money with you?

    Good question. In 2001 the White Stripes were featured in the Sub Pop Singles Club. It was a subscription-only service where the lucky subscribers received a 7” every month for a very reasonable price. A six-month subscription in 2001 would have cost you $35. The White Stripes’ Sub Pop single on Sub Pop now consistently sells for $250 on reputable online auction sites.

    We hope you want to subscribe to our service because you’re a die-hard fan of the music coming out of Third Man. Even if you are not, it would at least be an investment plan far more reliable than Wall Street.

    WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY MERCHANDISE?
    Once sign-up is complete on the 21st July we will put in orders for pressing and printing of merchandise based on the exact number of members. With no overage, or extra stock, your pieces of vinyl ware more exclusive and personal to you. Due to fulfilling orders in the way, delivery will take approximately four to six weeks from the end of the sign up period.

    WHAT IF I MISS THE PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP DEADLINE? CAN I STILL REGISTER?
    We have to be strict on the deadline for the Platinum Membership service so we can get everybody’s records to them in a timely manner. If you miss the deadline of July 21st then you’ll have to wait until the next registration period to sign up for Platinum Membership, but the Premium Membership subscription is available at all times and you can easily upgrade to Platinum during the next sign up period.

    I’VE NOTICED THAT OCCASIONALLY THERE IS MORE CONTENT FOR SOME BANDS AND LESS FOR OTHERS. WHY?
    Bands that are currently more active will be able to provide more original content and interaction. So there may be some fluctuation in new content for each band. We will work tirelessly to constantly provide you with new exclusive content for every Third Man artist.
