*Original Notes
Vinyl superstar Jack White release the 15th entry in the
Third Man Records’ rarity-excavating Vault subscribers
series, and, of course, the package has an appropriately
weird back story. The big get in this round of exclusives is
Jack White & the Bricks: Live on the Garden Bowl Lanes,
a 12? live LP capturing a 1999 show by short-lived
White Stripes-precursors Jack White & the Bricks, who performed
on a stage set up over lanes 11 through 14 at Detroit’s Garden
Bowl bowling alley. Pressed on (what else) “Bowling-Pin-White”
vinyl, the record features White singing and playing guitar with
his nephew and Dirtbombs member Ben Blackwell on drums,
Ken Peyok from Waxwings and the See-See providing bass, and
future Raconteurs collaborator Brendan Benson helping out with
guitar.

The set — which includes future White Blood Cells tunes
“Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground,” “The Union Forever,”
“Now Mary,” and “The Same Boy You’ve Always Known,” plus two
Bob Dylan covers and a Meg White-dedicated rendition of
“Ain’t It a Shame” by garage legends ? & the Mysterians —
was committed to four-track reel-to-reel on White’s 24th
birthday, July 9, 1999, by an engineer set up in lane 10.
According to the statement, Garden Bowl, “the longest continually-run
bowling establishment in North America,” was also
“the de facto home of the then-bustling Detroit garage rock scene.”
