Not the same thing. They were promoted as vault exclusive 7"s of songs that would be on the album, so I expect them to be on the album when its released, but I don't expect the 7"s to ever be pressed to black and sold publicly. If they were, that would disappoint me.Coma16 wrote:Well these songs will be on the actual album (in 2015?) so prepared to be disappointed.jrfhoutx wrote:I ha understood it that the tracks would be available digitally, but only available on vinyl through the Vault. As long as these don't come out on black wax in the TMR main store (or some RSD version) an are only ever available on vinyl in vault packs, I won't feel misled... I have no problem with the digital tracks, not every Dead Weather fan is into vinyl (though they should be imo), and not every Dead Weather fan is a Vault member (though, again, they shoul be imo), and they have to get the tracks into the ears of fans somehow...
As for public release singles, if the album is going to be made up of the vault released tracks and then some, then I don't see why they couldn't release some of the other non-vault tracks as singles. Then again some of the vault released tracks could end up not making the album... 2015 is a long way off, so time will tell...
