Keeping up with all of Jack White’s projects is a job in and of itself. When not hanging out with The Edge and Jimmy Page, dressing up like Elvis and giving advice to Dewey Cox and playing drums in that band Dead Weather, White’s been making serious moves with his Third Man Records imprint. Just recently, the King of Detroit blew fan boys minds when announcing the Vault, a super elaborate fan club that gives members limited edition LP’s, swag, and whatever else White connjurs up.

The latest word from Third Man finds White unveiling two, super rare outtakes from the very first White Stripes release, the “Let’s Shake Hands” b/w “Look Me Over Closely” 7-inch. The alternative takes of the songs will be exclusively available to members of The Vault. If you find yourself longing for the scuzzy garage blues of the early Stripes, signing up for The Vault may not be a bad idea, especially since membership closes next Thursday, October 22nd.

Now, not only can you subscribe to Señor White’s record label Third Man Records, you can visit their store in New York City… for two days. The label will have a storefront in the Lower East Side at 131 Chrystie Street on July 16th and 17th, and you can pop in for a visit between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on either of those days. You’ll be able to the pick up the new Dead Weather album Horehound, which comes out on the 14th, in addition to lots of other cool exclusive schwag. While you’re at it, why not make it a Dead Weather themed weekend and go see them at Terminal 5 with recent TripWire feature band Screaming Females on either (OR BOTH!) of those nights, or check out the rest of their tour  dates here.

Our main squeeze Jack White is now offering a subscription service to his constantly humming Third Man Records. By signing up for one of two membership options, fans can join—dun dun dun— “The Vault”. For the $7 a month premium membership (with a 3-month minimum) you can be the first to get your paws on exclusive treats: pre-sale concert tickets, streaming video content and video broadcasts from all Third Man artists, official chat rooms, photos, writings and messages from Third Man artists, and pay- per-view live concerts of Dead Weather, Raconteurs, White Stripes and more.

The $20 a month platinum membership includes all of the premium membership digs as well as exclusive subscription service-only releases and a Third Man 12″ LP, a 7″ and a T-shirt (not sold in stores!) Premium memberships can be purchased year-round while the platinum setup’s only going to be available for consumption until July 21st.  White promises plenty of archived never before seen and heard footage, photos and music in the vault. And they also plan on updating “ALLLL THE TIME.” That’s FOUR Ls! Get your wallets out. (via The Daily Swarm)
