unlike most of you, this will be my first vault purchase. the description indicates that the B-sides are...

 

The b-sides consist of covers of some of Detroit's most pre-eminent artists in 2003:
"Good to Me" written by Brendan Benson and Jason Falkner and originally released on Benson's 2002 album Lapalco. / "Who's to Say…" written byDan Miller and released by his outfit Blanche in 2003 on their album If We Can't Trust the Doctors… / "St. Ides of March" written by the Soledad Brothers and released on their self-titled album of 2000. / As well as a White Stripes live medley of "I Fought Piranhas / Let's Build a Home" recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York.

 

Each of these tracks has been remastered from the original analog sources, and in the case of "…March" and "Piranhas" where there were no analog masters, we used only the finest digital files that could withstand sitting unused on a hard drive for over ten years. The artwork on all the singles has been tidied up, spell-checked and given that special Third Man "je ne sais quoi"

 

sounds like unreleased and rare material to me?

I don't think anyone read that. The vault ad made it sound like it was just a sides. I'm pretty happy for this. A little pricey, but I'm sure we won't be bitching once that fancy box comes in the mail. I have to agree though, that DVD would have made this a no brainer.

Yes those are the rAre b-sides........ That you can only get by buying these records that have been available for ten years.

Seriously thinking this may be the first vault I don't get.

ive held off on buying all of these singles in the past cause I was waiting for the TMR pressed. I'm actually pretty happy they're finally coming out.

Yeah it's cool if you dont have them....but buying them when they came out, don't know if I need these (too many other good records instead of buying more copies of these.)

It's the first one I'm not getting. While cool for those that don't have these, it just feels like an easy cop out for them, re-releasing singles that can all be easily found, and then re-releasing them on black vinyl after. So it comes in a nice box worth $10 is not enough for me. For anyone that wants the originals, they can all be found on Discogs.

More details on the new Vault package via the official press release:

 

 

image_zpsae026e25.jpeg

Do you like the White Stripes? Do you like experiments? Do you like the Vault? Do you like combining all three? We do.

 

For our 19th installment of the Vault, we're doing something we've never done before. Something that Vault members have been clamoring for...the exclusive, limited, colored vinyl edition of a record.

 

As you probably know, TMR tries to release a limited version of every record we do. That limited edition is usually available only at certain locations or stores, while the black vinyl version is kept in print forever.

 

This package will consist of limited colored vinyl pressings of all of the White Stripes singles from their album Elephant.

 

These include...

 

"Seven Nation Army"

 

"I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself"

 

"The Hardest Button to Button"

 

"There's No Home For You Here"

 

The b-sides consist of covers of some of Detroit's most pre-eminent artists in 2003...

 

"Good to Me" written by Brendan Benson and Jason Falkner and originally released on Benson's 2002 album Lapalco.

 

"Who's to Say..." written by Dan Miller and released by his outfit Blanche in 2003 on their album If We Can't Trust the Doctors...

 

"St. Ides of March" written by the Soledad Brothers and released on their self-titled album of 2000.

 

As well as a White Stripes live medley of "I Fought Piranhas / Let's Build a Home" recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York.

 

Each of these tracks has been remastered from the original analog sources, and in the case of "...March" and "Piranhas" where there were no analog masters, we used only the finest digital files that could withstand sitting unused on a hard drive for over ten years.

 

The artwork on all the singles has been tidied up, spell-checked and given that special Third Man "je ne sais quoi"

 

"There's No Home For You Here", which was originally coupled with a generic company sleeve, now has stunning new artwork. It looks electrifying!

 

And these sleeves FEEL amazing. Employing a process called (we're not making this up) "soft touch aqueous coating" each of these glue-pocket sleeves feels like a hybrid between rubber and lambskin. It's difficult to describe, but immediately noticeable and amazing in person.

 

Each record will be pressed on clear vinyl with with an added vinyl highlight color insertion of either red, black or white. For "There's No Home..." all three of those colors will be added to clear vinyl, to make something truly exciting.

 

All of this will be housed in a custom-made telescoping box, so that these singles can forever live together with distinction in your record collection.

 

Later in 2014 each of the singles will be available individually, on black vinyl, with no box, to the general public.
