Third Man Records is finally coming home to Detroit. 

 

After seven years of operating its headquarters in Nashville, Jack White’s infamous record label will open its Shinola-adjacent doors to the masses on November 27 – Black Friday. The Cass Corridor location was announced in June and construction has been quietly moving forward since the big news.

 

The grand opening promises “surprise releases, limited editions, exclusive Detroit merchandise, eye-popping in-house attractions and contraptions” and live performances by both Nashville and Detroit-native artists. Performing acts include: The Gories, Lillie Mae Rische, and Margo Price. (More performers to be announced soon.)

 

If that wasn’t enough good news, Third Man Records has announced that it has partnered with Universal Music to reissue nine early-Motown Tamla recordings, in honor of their homecoming celebration. The reissued recordings, which were housed at the legendary Motown HQ “Hitsville USA,” include: 

  • Barrett Strong – “Let’s Rock” b/w “Do the Very Best You Can”
  • Chico Leverett – “Solid Sender” b/w “I’ll Never Love Again”
  • The Swinging Tigers – “Snake Walk (Part 1)” b/w “Snake Walk (Part 2)”
  • The Satintones – “Going to the Hop” b/w “Motor City”
  • Barrett Strong – “Money” b/w “Oh I Apologize”
  • Nick & the Jaguars – “Ich-i-bon #1” b/w “Cool and Crazy”
  • The Miracles – “Way Over There” b/w “(You Can) Depend on Me”
  • Marvin Gaye – “Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide” b/w “Never Let You Go”
  • The Supremes – “Buttered Popcorn” b/w “Who’s Lovin You”
