Jack White founded Third Man Records in Detroit, Michigan, in 2001. Third Man established its first physical location in Nashville, Tennessee on March 11th, 2009. The Nashville location is a record store and a complete production office. It includes a recording studio, rehearsal stage, photo studio, darkroom, and storage facility for master recording tapes. To commemorate the event, White debuted his new project, The Dead Weather, performing a short set for the 150 invited guests.
The label's name features the number three due to White's known fondness of it, as mentioned in several interviews. It refers to Carol Reed's 'The Third Man' starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles. His old upholstering company was named Third Man Upholstery. White also refers to himself as a woman's "third man" in the song "Ball and Biscuit" on The White Stripes' album 'Elephant'.
All six studio albums of The White Stripes appear with the Third Man logo. Both albums of The Raconteurs ('Broken Boy Soldiers' and 'Consolers of the Lonely') carry the label's logo. For The Raconteurs' tour of the United Kingdom in October 2006, 1,000 live albums were pressed and sold for each show, all of which had a Third Man logo on. Other artists under the Third Man label include The Dead Weather, Whirlwind Heat, Dan Sartain, and The Muldoons.

Rebecca: You are currently working at Level 2 - there is basic research into similar products and a good level of care in presenting your work.
ReplyDeleteTarget: You need to complete the research into music videos and update your initial ideas. I also need to see some good research in to the TA! You are not working on your blog regularly enough - you haven't posted since 20th September! This means time management is not good at this point on the A2 course.
