Here is the original blurb about Vault #6 by Third Man Records and by Jack White:

The long-playing 12” vinyl is a collection of demos recorded by the Greenhornes in preparation for their “East Grand Blues” EP released in 2005. This session, recorded in Nashville (on 2/3/04) at the same studio used for Loretta Lynn’s “Van Lear Rose” album, contains radically different and some altogether previously unheard Greenhornes tracks. The stand-out, in this copy-writer’s mind, is their unparalleled assault on James Brown’s “I’ll Go Crazy” addressed with vicious amounts of Blue Cheer fuzz frenzy. The ‘hornes version of this song has been a staple in their live set for years and it’s a treat to finally make it available on record. The whole thing was mixed by Jack White who’s also been known as an amateur haberdasher.

For your 7” serving we’ve decided to spare no expense...can you smell that picture disc? It’s the White Stripes “Hello Operator” b/w “Jolene” made available on vinyl for the first time in several years! Now we know all of you die-hards already bought the original picture disc the day it came out (yeah, right) so in hopes of keeping those original picture discs special we’ve re-jiggered the artwork with some new (old) images. You like Meg White sitting next to her bass drum? CHECK! You like the flipside peppermint to be from Meg’s bass drum and not the huge peppermint laying next to her? CHECK! You want the fade-out from “Hello Operator” done away with so you can hear Jack and Meg speed up the ending and Meg’s opinion of how that take fared compared to the others? CHECK! You want the Stripes striking cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”? The one that’s been a live favorite for years? CHECK! What more could you ask for? Circus peanuts? That’s absurd. You KNOW we just sold out of those!

In an attempt to further marry the two products in this package we’ve decided to dig up a classic (and relatively unknown) t-shirt from the White Stripes/Greenhornes “Your Southern Can Is Mine” tour from 2001. No one we know actually has one of these t-shirts, but for the sake of keeping those originals special (us, again with all these considerations!) we’re printing this shirt on a classy white-sleeved, black-bodied baseball style t-shirt. These things are SHARP.

"hello you, wanted to let you in on some of the straight dope about the new records on the vault this quarter. this greenhornes lp is by far my favorite thing they ever recorded. after we finished the sessions for the van lear rose album, the greenhornes came back to the small home studio to begin recording thier new album since l.j. and patrick dug the place so much. they gave me a cd of the recordings and it was about all i listened to in the months leading up to recording get behind me satan. it has a murkier vibe. patrick calls them demos, and wanted to name the album "nashville DEMOcracy" ha ha! because as he saw it, the band ended up re recording that album at brendan bensons studio to be eventually titled "east grand blues" (the street brendan lived on). i personally never understood why they wanted to re record it as i loved what they had on tape, but bb did a great job. and those songs just became my pet favorite greehornes record.

when we were negotiating putting out the four stars record on third man, i said "i'll do it, if you let me mix those nashville session and release it on the vault." the band thought it was a great idea, as they always wanted those recordings out there themselves. the record was recorded on one inch 8 track, just like van lear rose, but we mixed it in my studio. we actually mixed it to one inch 2 track. very heavy sound. it also contains my favorite song of theirs "shelter of your arms" in what i think is their best version.

hope you dig it, oh lj wanted to call the record "boscobell blues" in the end as that was the street that eric mconnell the engineers home studio was in nashville, hence the battle of nashville tin type photo on the front.

i had also been hard pressed to find the mixdown master tape of the recordings of the white stripes picture disc. it is one of the only things we couldn't locate in the archives, so i thought i'd remix the songs while i had the master out anyhow. also got a request from this dr. j commercial to use hello operator of all songs. i loved dr. j, the way he shrugged his shoulders in the video so i said cool. i had forgotten that meg and i sped up the song at the end and that's why i faded out on our "de stijl" album. it's a pretty cool ending, and a totally new mix of the song, as well as a totally new mix of jolene. sounds better than ever, cut from tape this time instead of dat back in 2000. we didn't have a two track tape machine to mix down to at whatever that pet rock's studio was called in detroit as i recall.

we tried our darndest to find someone who had the only co-band tour t shirt we've ever had in the stripes. the southern can is mine tour in 2001 was a humdinger, and patrick had designed the logo himself, the green bull with the peppermint eyes. wonder where the originals are. i blew a speaker at our show in memphis on that tour, and gave it to the first person ever to have a white stripes tatoo, it was meg's kick drum on this guys arm, so that led me to want to put the kick drum on the new picture disc. hope this is interesting to y'all, and we hope to get these in your hands post haste."
