Easily. Wouldn't be surprised if they were among the rarest JW-related items ever produced. #WANT
Maybe in the top 20...
If that's the case, surprised we haven't seen the other two sleeves yet.
Maybe we have...
Hey, it's just a fucking record. Chill.

I'm just saying that if more than 10 of these exist in the world then it wouldn't be the rarest thing ever. I mean heck, most test presses are limited to 5 or so.

What I mean was, maybe the variation is something so odd, we may have seen one and not even noticed. I remember the first time I saw the Sixtee Saltines alternate, I didn't even know what I was looking for until I looked both versions over real good.

Maybe someone has see the alternate and not even realized it was an alternate.

Thought I'd stir this thread up again.
Any more popped up yet?

Thought I'd throw in what I know, which isn't a lot.
I've brought this set of items up in conversation with Blackwell several times now and...
I've yet to see a TMR topic that he has been so secretive about more so than these. I get absolutely no info, much like Woody.

It's almost like this was a pet project of Jacks or something he wanted very secret (purely speculation).
There is something to this we haven't quite put our finger on around why it is so hush hush, that I'd bet on.

Just think . . . there may well be alternate covers for the last two Blunderbuss singles that either no one has found or, if someone has, they're not willing to show them . . . 8-)

Jack white alternate 7" covers

Post by Alabama Woody »

Ben has been great when I ask him questions. He has always been straight forward and no BS approach. I was surprised he responded to me at all. Since then we have spoke about records and he answered all my questions about some posted on EBay, he has answered questions about quantity of certain items.
He will not discuss this at all, period. Grim knows him a hell of a lot better than I do. If Grim can't get any info from him or if he has been instructed not to share then it's definitely gonna be rare. Why oh why..... I didn't buy the pair off eBay I will never know, I thought they might surface later, cheaper, not the case. I love the true low number collectible TMR STUFF and this it it,

A very nice Swirler hooked me up with the last tour 45. I'm thankful to have that. These variants are something I would love to have. I have all the Blunderbuss 45's and 33's that I know of except these odd variants. I think Blunderbuss was a great Solo album and I'm impressed and happy for Jack and I would like to have all versions for prosperity !!!!

They exists ... But it's one of those "I can show you, but then I'll have to kill you" type deals.... :twisted:

Thanks for stirring Grim!

I know I have not seen the picture of the other cover we know to exist, was hoping someone would post it. I've given up on seeing the others.

Found this by total accident just now searching for some new source photos... Wow! The slogan is undoubtedly a part of the "Mum" campaign during WWII, ya know the whole "Loose lips sink ships" sort of thing to stop people tipping off the enemy.
