Third Man Records was launched by Jack White in Detroit, MI in 2001 and in 2009 opened its current Nashville, TN location which houses a record store, novelties lounge (featuring the Third Man Record Booth), label offices and distribution center, photo studio, and the worlds only live venue with direct-to-acetate recording capabilities. In 2015 the Third Man family grew to include its Detroit location in the historic Cass Corridor where The White Stripes debuted with their first live performance. Third Man is an innovator in the world of vinyl records ad a boundary pusher in the world of recorded music, aiming to bring tangibility and spontaneity back into the record business and issue releases that leave not doubt in the minds of listeners that music is indeed sacred.
