Maybe they can get those tricolor proportions right again. This is pretty nifty though.

Re: Third Man Records - Record Pressing
Just got to the end of the article....
Quote:
The label has hired a handful of people so far to help run Third Man Detroit, including at least one name of significance: Dave Buick, who ran the Detroit label Italy Records, released the earliest White Stripes material, and gave Blackwell his start in the music business. With Buick on board, not only is the new store a manufacturing enterprise and a commitment to Detroit’s history—it’s a family affair.

Re: Third Man Records - Record Pressing
^^ That was one of a few things that blew my mind in the article. Also loved that Wolf Eyes came to TMR through an e-mail auto-complete error.
But the pressing machines... Knew it was coming at some point, there was no way Jack wouldn't figure out how to press his own records somehow someday, so the news was not unexpected. But it still blew my little mind to smithereens. If I had a dollar for every time over the past five years that I've said "How are they going to top this?"... and they always do. It scares me.
