About Vault 38 -
"Daddy, will you tell me the story about the chickensagain?"
Inauspiciously, in an off-the-mic comment, begins thewonderful opus of Consolers of the Lonely, the critically-lauded, fan-adored,Grammy Award-winning sophomore LP from the beloved quartet known as theRaconteurs.
Before sunrise releases were common, the Raconteursambushed the world with the sudden, unannounced release of Consolers of theLonely on March 25th, 2008… a time when coordinating a worldwide physical and digitalsurprise release was even less easily accomplished than it is today.
Internally referred to as “The Plug-Ins” at Warner Brothersso as to prevent information leaking, the album takes its title from aninscription on the frieze of a Washington D.C. post office and finds theRaconteurs at their mightiest, exploring what it means to be a rock band in theclassic sense, full-on bombastic horn arrangements and gut-wrenching murderballads sit side-by-side and while the swagger and confidence of riffs andlicks for days firmly establish this album as one of the pre-eminent releasesof the aughts.
To celebrate ten years since the release of Consolers of theLonely, Third Man Records is beyond honored to reissue this noteworthy album.Pressed on incredibly unique magnificent copper foil vinyl, this is the firsttime the double LP has EVER been made available on colored vinyl. Coupled witha slightly re-imagined front cover highlighting new metallic accents to theiconic tintype image (after all, tin IS the traditional gift for a 10 yearanniversary), this release was mastered directly from the original 1” mastertapes and lovingly pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit, Michigan.
For our 7" for this package, we have something veryspecial: the first NEW songs in ten years from recent sessions that willultimately result in a new Raconteurs album in 2019!! That's right, we're notgiving you track titles or even letting your hear a snippet. You'll have towait until this package hits your doorstep.
The time for you all to get pretty dang excited about whatis to come next year begins right... NOW!
Lastly, this very special Vault celebration of all thingsold and new of The Raconteurs will include a 4"x4" Copper and Black"R" Insignia embroidered patch for your rocker jean jacket and a setof four 2.5" Brushed Silver stickers featuring art from Consolers of theLonely.
