I think I'm going to go find the biggest field I can find and watch the skies.

I expect there will be quite a great number of people standing outside, eyes-cast-skyward, while the peeps at TMR are laughing hardily at the image in the back of their minds, thereof. Then again...this could be on the "up-n-up."

Ya, funny they say it's for all those who complain about not being able to get all those cool limited edition records, I think this makes it even tougher....

Maybe I'm just still angry from the finish of today's NASCAR race..

you know, i love TMR's quirkiness, but sometimes it drives me nuts... while this idea is creative, and funny, i feel like something a little more practical could be done with it... this flexi would have been the perfect thing to just throw in to the vault 10 box as they ship them out... a nice little extra for the vaulters... but instead its used as an april fools gag...

It's almost mocking everyone who's upset and complaining about not getting any limited releases outside of Nashville..doubt that's what they meant to do, but that's how it could come off.

I agree, something better could have been done, but being its April fools day, maybe these will show up somewhere else later.

yeah, but you have a completely random chance at landing one of these. assuming you live in the direction of the prevailing winds and the jet stream... cause i can''t afford to go to nashville every 3-6 months, but i can afford to go to the other side of the country, rent a car, and buy enough gas to randomly drive around for an undetermined amount of time...


and yeah, I know this is an April Fools gag, but I'm wondering how it is. like is it going to turn out to be faked and that's the joke, or is the joke "oh you think our regular limited releases are hard to get, haha, take that"... either way in the grand scheme of things it's actually pretty funny, just frustrating and slightly unfunny as a collector...

Another innovative Third Man idea. Cool but I definitely agree, this cannot be good for the environment. Guess it's the green in me.

i hope i don't come across as sucking up, but i think this my favorite thing that TMR has ever done.
the fun part is just waiting around for some lucky schmuck to land one of these things.

to really sweeten the gag, maybe jack is singing while on helium. eh? it's possible.
<JackWhite> Hamptonio: yes, and tell the lovely wife that i really love the pot pie recipe. i can't get enough LOL! anyway, let me know when you get that package of test pressings i sent you.
