Third Man Records Vault #70: The Raconteurs Set

Third Man Records has announced Vault #70, a 23-track release marking the 20th anniversary of the debut album released by The Raconteurs in 2006. The physical set is pressed across three 180-gram colored vinyl records. More than 20 of the 23 tracks included in the set have never been released before, featuring both early studio recordings and live material.

Among the previously unreleased material are nine studio demos. These include a studio demo version of Level, a previously unheard track titled Mech Royal, and an alternate recording of Blue Veins that exceeds seven minutes in length. The set also documents the band's live debut, including the full recording of the first concert performed by The Raconteurs, which took place at the Liverpool Carling Academy on March 20, 2006.

The recording of the Liverpool Carling Academy concert includes performances of tracks from the 2006 debut album, as well as cover versions of songs originally by Love and Flamin' Groovies. The Vault #70 set is being offered exclusively through Third Man Records. Subscriptions to obtain the package are available until midnight on October 31.
