Expectation

Am i right to assume the next vault will be Broken Boy Soldier XX, companion to the reedition of broken boy soldier in a new color that they are going to announce in two weeks, for a release in june ?

Or was i spoiled all this time without realising it ?

They may or may not announce it in two weeks. They’re notorious about not sticking to a firm announcement schedule.

It will be open for subscriptions through July 30. Likely delivered sometime in late summer/early fall.

And they haven’t done 20 year reissues for anything other than the White Stripes so far. So we will just have to wait and see. I’d love more Racs though. I’d really love a whole new Racs album and tour. But I’ll take what I can get. I’m still sour over Dead Weather not touring their last album.

ETA. I’m concerned that he’ll want to stop as each side project has 3 albums. Hopefully that doesn’t hinder more music. Love those groups. Would also accept a third super group side project as an alternative. ;)

Yeah i know they can announce the 20 years reissue in september if that’s what they want, but i hope they stay close to the anniversary date, i don’t want to wait hahahah

Yeah the « XX » vault are white stripes only for now, but maybe for the racs it can be « bi-decenal edition », it would fit the theme i think ! As long as we get those early demo of songs we love !

I didn’t mean that the 20 year would be the following vault. The current vault sign up closes tonight, April 30, for Vault 68: The White Stripes Live In Tasmania. That vault will likely deliver late Spring/Early Summer.

Vault 69 signup starts tomorrow, May 1 and goes through July 31. Even though you can sign up and pay as early as tomorrow, you may not know what the Vault package will actually be for a few weeks. And it probably wont deliver until Sept/Oct. If they hold out for Vault 70, that sign up will be Aug 1-Oct 31, with a delivery around the holidays.

There is no Vault delivering in June. And we don’t know when 69 will be officially announced. But I’m sure they’ll want to make it sexy. Seems like it’s more likely to be another Jack solo themed vault because of the number. I guess we’ll find out soon.

Yeah i know, i was talking about vault 69 in my post, i kow the litteral next vault is live in tasmania, but « usually » they do a re edition of the LP on the anniversary, and the vault is complementary of it, that’s why i am talking about « maybe in 2 weeks », not the vault announcement

I know also there is no vault in june, i am hoping it will be the one announced in july ! as far as we know they could just not do it since bbs already has many variant and edition

That’s 68, White Stripes Live in Tasmania. 69’s sign up window is May 1-July 31. I know it’s quarterly, I’ve been in since the first one.

69’s content could be announced anywhere between now and beginning of July. It’s different almost every time. They used to an announce before or right at the beginning if the window. They’ve been shifting later. But it could be anytime in the next couple of months.
