Third Man Records was launched by Jack White in Detroit, MI, in 2001, and in 2009, it opened its Nashville, TN, location, which houses a record store, novelties lounge (featuring the Third Man Record Booth), label offices and distribution center, photo studio, and the world’s only live venue with direct-to-acetate recording capabilities. Third Man returned to Detroit in November 2015 with its second retail location, Third Man Records Cass Corridor—a record store, novelties lounge, in-store performance stage, record booth, and vinyl record pressing plant. Third Man is an innovator in the world of vinyl records and a boundary pusher in the world of recorded music, aiming to bring tangibility and spontaneity back to the record business and issue releases that leave no doubt in the minds of listeners that music is indeed sacred.
