My favorite snippet-- "“Later he took us in his white Cadillac to get burgers at this drive-in along the road. Unreal. I actually found a Costa- Rican one hundred dollar bill on the carfloor in the back that I took as a souvenir. Sorry, Jack.” ― Dungen
Interesting that the Amazon version mentions "MP3 audio", but not a 7".

The blackboard at Cass indicated they were pressing black vinyl 7"ers for this . . .Kali Durga wrote:Interesting that the Amazon version mentions "MP3 audio", but not a 7".

The announcement at TMB specifies a 7", too. Guess Amazon missed that detail.woodisgood wrote:The blackboard at Cass indicated they were pressing black vinyl 7"ers for this . . .Kali Durga wrote:Interesting that the Amazon version mentions "MP3 audio", but not a 7".

There's a download code too, for a 10 song sampler in the book.

Awesome. That's confirmation, as far as I'm concerned. Glad you caught that.woodisgood wrote:The blackboard at Cass indicated they were pressing black vinyl 7"ers for this . . .Kali Durga wrote:Interesting that the Amazon version mentions "MP3 audio", but not a 7".

So on Beats 1 tonight, Jack said (among other things) that this is only Vol. 1 and that he hopes the series becomes a TMR institution that will continue long after he's dead and gone. Probably not the end, then.

Yeah, I was talking to Blackwell about it on RSD and he said the same thing. He said it was a lot of fun to put together and that this would hopefully turn into an entire series.Aquamarine wrote:So on Beats 1 tonight, Jack said (among other things) that this is only Vol. 1 and that he hopes the series becomes a TMR institution that will continue long after he's dead and gone.

Just to be clear, Jack was talking about the Blue Series of records, rather than the book.arewhyehen wrote:Yeah, I was talking to Blackwell about it on RSD and he said the same thing.

Not that it was exactly a secret, but the credits in the book do verify the identity of Whip Triplet.

Re: The Blue Series: The Story Behind The Color
I hadn't yet gotten around to pulling up credits for all of those records to compare, but I figured that when I didn't see a separate listing for Mr. Triplet. Shame they gave it away.Aquamarine wrote:Not that it was exactly a secret, but the credits in the book do verify the identity of Whip Triplet.

Re: The Blue Series: The Story Behind The Color
I asked about Whip Triplet when I was on the Third Man tour. Blackwell took the Blue Series book and had them turn to a certain page and let me see. Then he goes "is it what you all thought?" haha I told him of course. It is cool to finally have confirmation.Aquamarine wrote:Not that it was exactly a secret, but the credits in the book do verify the identity of Whip Triplet.

At least we still don't know for sure who that Tall Poppy Red guy is.
