Third Man Records

In 2001, Jack White, best known as the guitarist and vocalist of The White Stripes, founded a record label in Detroit, Michigan known as Third Man Records. In 2009, White opened his first physical location for the label, in a run-down neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, known as Pie Town. 

Today the Nashville location hosts a record store, offices, a distribution center, recording and photo studios, as well as a live music venue called The Blue Room. The record store also a few interesting things such as a machine that makes miniature replicas of Jack White's guitar, a self-recording booth from the 1940s that can copy any two-minute audio recording onto 6-inch discs, and a video jukebox from the 1960s. 

Behind the record store is The Blue Room. The venue records its live shows direct-to-acetate through the 1953 "Scully Lathe" which produced some of music's most iconic singles. The venue is the only of its kind in the world to have a direct-to-acetate live setup. 

The record store part of the building sells copies of their direct-to-acetate live shows on vinyls known as the "Blue Series." The store also has an impressive collection of items for fans of the White Stripes, vinyl collectors, or anyone else who loves music.
