Jack White launches 'Vault' project

Jack White has announced the launch of a new venture which offers subscribers exclusive vinyl recordings and media content.

The White Stripes frontman wrote on The Vault website that the project would be unlike any other.

White said: "We hope to have a place where positivity and beauty in music and art can be shared together as a community. The vinyl records we are producing are only available to you! That's no easy thing to do mind you!"

He added: "Now all of you who never got a tri-coloured vinyl of any of our releases will have something to wave in your friends' faces.

"But most importantly, you can listen and hopefully love the music that is on these discs. They are meant for listening and experiencing. So don't be afraid."

Platinum members who join The Vault before July 21 will receive an exclusive mono mix of The White Stripes's Icky Thump on 180g vinyl, in addition to a Dead Weather 7" and Third Man Records T-shirt.
