Third Man Records

Today's purchase was The White Stripes 'Conquest', this is one record in a three vinyl set.

After the record arrived, I headed over to the Third Man Records [thirdmanrecords.com] web site to check out the other releases and was struck by the labels building/shop and their mission statement. The mission statement struck a chord with me because it's exactly the sort of thing I am aiming for with the combination of my studio, Beliefspace [beliefspacestudio.co.uk] and my label, Fiercely Independent Records [fiercelyindie.co.uk].


Third Man's Mission Statement:

"Third Man Records was originally founded by Jack White in Detroit in 2001. In March of 2009, a physical location was established in Nashville, TN. Third Man Records in it’s current state serves as record store, record label, live venue, and one stop production house with a rehearsal and photo studio, darkroom, and production office and distribution center. All of our records are produced by Jack White in his own Third Man Studio, then printed and pressed right here in Nashville. With our unique set-up we can have an artist recorded and photographed in one day and have records for sale in our store within weeks. In this way we are bringing a spontaneous and immediate aesthetic back into the record business."
