Record Sale Contest

Win a stack of vinyl singles from Third Man Records when you show up to Cap Radio's Annual Record Sale:




Record Roots

Record Store, Record Label, Lots and Lots of Vinyl: Third Man Records is practically kinfolk to the Cap Radio Record Sale. Jack White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather) founded Third Man in 2001 but it really started becoming a Nashville institution in 2009.

White produces every album that rolls out of the Tennessee headquarters. Considering the label's in-house set up (rehearsal and photo studio, darkroom, production office and distribution center) that production can be pretty speedy, boasting a few weeks turn around for the final products.

This year saw the debut of The Third Man Rolling Record Store, a large yellow van travelling the country hawking records on and supported by the label. The whereabouts of the store typically remain a closely guarded secret. Who knows? Maybe we'll see a big yellow surprise at Cap Radio's Radio record sale. In the likely event we don't, at least those Third Man 7" singles will be there . . . though not for long.
