Third Man Records, the record label owned and run by Jack White, launched an ongoing exclusive series for subscribers only called “The Vault” a while back, its installments encompassing special 7" singles and double LPs of music by The White Stripes and The Dead Weather. The newest Vault package, the tenth in the series, includes the talents of Beck, Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees), all of whom get to try their hand at remixing music from White’s catalog.
The package’s 7" is a double A-side. Side one features Beck’s remix of The White Stripes’ “The Hardest Button to Button,” while side two is a remix of The Dead Weather’s “Hang You from the Heavens” done in collaboration by Homme and Lanegan.
The package also contains a 12" of The Raconteurs performing live at Third Man, which is described by Third Man as “the most intimate gig of their career” and features a cover of The Who’s “I Can See for Miles.”
As a “wild card entry,” a DVD component of the label’s 2010 Devil’s Night Party is included, featuring Elvira as the host and live footage of The Greenhornes and The Black Belles. Watch the trailer for the DVD below:
