Third Man Records is an independent record label founded by Jack White in Detroit, Michigan, in 2001. Third Man established its first physical location—a combination record store, performance venue, and headquarters for the label—in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2009. The label opened a Detroit branch location in November 2015. ==History== Jack White founded Third Man Records in Detroit, Michigan, in 2001. White originally purchased the building to store his gear, and some plans to release the old White Stripes 45s. Third Man, which releases albums and singles primarily on vinyl record, established its first physical location in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 11, 2009. The Nashville location serves as a record store, label offices and live venue. It includes The Blue Room (a live performance venue and screening room for The Light and Sound Machine, a monthly film series co-hosted by The Belcourt Theater), a photo studio and darkroom, a storage facility for master recording tapes, and the label warehouse. The Blue Room is the only venue in the world to record live shows direct-to-acetate, producing a vinyl master in real time. To commemorate the opening of Third Man Records in Nashville, White debuted his new project, The Dead Weather, performing a short set for the 150 invited guests. The label's motto is "Your Turntable's Not Dead."〔Lewis, Tim (31 May 2014). ("Jack White: 'I'm like Larry David, Alan Partridge and Chris Rock in one person'" ). ''The Observer''. Retrieved August 7, 2014.〕 The label's name incorporates several elements of personal significance to White. His fondness for the number three is well documented.〔Killingsworth, Jason. ("The White Stripes Play Us a Little Number." ) ''Paste Magazine''.

("Jack White: Your Furniture Is Not Dead" ) ''The Believer''. Retrieved April 12, 2006.〕 White also refers to himself as a woman's "third man" in the song "Ball and Biscuit" on The White Stripes' album ''Elephant''. All six studio albums of The White Stripes appear with the Third Man logo. Both albums of The Raconteurs (''Broken Boy Soldiers'' and ''Consolers of the Lonely'') also carry the label's logo. For The Raconteurs' tour of the United Kingdom in October 2006, 1,000 live albums were pressed and sold for each show, all of which display a Third Man logo. The Dead Weather, Jack White, The Black Belles, Karen Elson, and the Greenhornes are also core acts on the Third Man roster. Other artists who have released LP's on Third Man Records include Kelley Stoltz, Seasick Steve, and Pokey LaFarge. The label released and pressed a 7-inch vinyl of Conan O'Brien's 2010 comedy album "And They Call Me Mad?", which featured an interview of O'Brien by Jack White on its reverse.〔(August 20, 2010), "Conan O'Brien's spoken-word recording to debut Monday on Sirius Radio". The Canadian Press.〕 The Third Man Records Vault is a "rarity-excavating" quarterly subscription service that began in September 2009 as a way to release special and otherwise unreleased content. Platinum members of the Vault receive a package containing limited-edition vinyl records and merchandise every three months. Generally each cycle's offerings include a 12” record, a 7” record (both on colored vinyl) and a “bonus item." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Third Man Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
