Third Man Records is to release live albums from The Shins, The Kills and Seasick Steve which were all recorded at the label’s Nashville base.

The albums were laid down direct-to-acetate at Third Man Records’ Blue Room – the only such facility offered by any live venue.




“Without overdubs or editing, all three records were recorded at the Third Man Blue Room last October, mixed in real time on a Rupert Neve 5008 console by Grammy Award winning engineer Vance Powell, and instantly cut to vinyl by master cutter George Ingram using a 1953 Scully Lathe that previously churned out masters for Cincinnati’s legendary King Records (the story goes that James Brown’s It’s A Man’s World was cut on this lathe among many more great sides),” a press release explains.

Fans will be able to purchase the live albums either individually or as a bundle through Third Man’s website. Check out the trailer below:
