[dreamover]

At least you got a noise-free racs. Most people didn't.

It took a lot of time, communication, and complaining loudly (and publicly) to get one... and I forwarded audio clips of the noises to TMR proving that my copy had issues (and did it voluntarily) multiple times (I got 4 bad copies before I got a good one).

Sorry man, that sucks, always disappointing to get the anticipated release and find defects... warps never really bother me too much (unless they're really bad), I have a few records that have some little ripples in them, like a copy of Zeppelin IV with a nice wave in it from beiing left on a TT in the sun, I just up my tracking force .25-.50 grams and keep it spinning... sure you can hear a little distortion in that spot, but never enough that it bothers me. for some reason flaws in vinyl don't bother me nearly as much as flaws in digital media (like mp3s or CDs, nothing pisses me off more than a skipping CD, a skipping record? nope, just pop it over a groove or two)...

^^ When did you say you joined the Vault?

Yeah i know but i'm always impatient

Mine also came really badly warped so I messaged them and they send a new one. This one came and the sleeve was split on all three sides, however the record seemed to be fine.

Let's update what I did in the vault pack #10 pre-announcement discussion:

Pack #1: announced the 6th (Monday)
Pack #2: announced the 30th .... of the month before! (Friday)
Pack #3: announced the 1st (Monday)
Pack #4: announced the 6th (Tuesday)
Pack #5: announced the 1st (Thursday)
Pack #6: announced the 2nd (Saturday)
Pack #7: announced the 3rd (Monday)
Pack #8: announced the 8th (Friday)
Pack #9: announced the 6th (Wednesday)
Pack #10: announced the 7th (Friday)
Pack #11: announced the 6th (Friday)

Pack #13: announced the 9th (Monday)
Pack #14: announced the 5th (Friday)
Pack #15: announced the 3rd (Thursday)

Average: 4.7
Median: 6

So yeah, they are late for this pack BUT

In the last 4 packs, 2 were announced a 9th (and a Monday).
The last April pack was announced a Monday and it was the 9th.

Packages were announced everyday of the week except Sunday and they tend to prefer Mondays and Fridays (5 announcements each) to announce Vault packs.

I cross my finger for tomorrow. Normally it's 100% sure it's tomorrow.
I hope it will be a nice vault package. Wait so long and be disappointed ...

[Nicode70]

wouldn't it be awsome to have demos of the upcomming material jack's working on? like early stages parts of the songs?
would be cool to have that before the actual release of an album, as a teaser!

Edit: just been charged for this vault.

[Mick III]

Yeah it would be great. By the way, Jack White didn't mention when he will be back with a new album ?

I definitely like this idea for a 7", but neither like nor think it possible or acceptable for an entire lp of material like that; I can't imagine any artist wanting a full lp of their unfinished demo material being released in one fell swoop. Later on, as individually released b-sides or something similar, sure...maybe.

Not that I'm aware of, he has said that he already has enough material for a second album. Furthermore, he has had new recording sessions with the peacocks and buzzards, so I think it is just assumed that he has been working on a new album, but then again we are talking about Jack so you never know

[Mick III]

Ok thank you for your answer, i didn't know he already has enough material for a second album. It's a nice information. It will be nice to have a new album this years. But mayby Jack is busy.

[Kali Durga]

^^ In recent interviews he's said all of the above, plus that he doesn't know whether he'll release the second album this year or not. And so, like for a Vault package, we wait

[Jettkoral]

They better announce this on my birthday!
