Third Man Records has a super cool temporary store in Austin for South by Southwest. They have set up at Frank a hot dog shop.  They have erected an enormous Tesla Coil Tower on the roof and have installed a projector to screen the White Stripes new film.  They have a branding station where you can brand objects, without a pulse, with a red hot iron.  The record shop will have limited quantities every day of the exclusive vinyl.

Luckily we were able to obtain some super limited edition records.  We plan to give these records away over the next few days! Along with ice cream and fruit bars from Ben & Jerry’s and Good Pops.

These aren’t just any records either.  They are Texas sized. We all know everything is bigger in Texas. The 7 inch records are actually 8 inches in diameter and the 12 inch in records are actually 13 inches in diameter.  You can check out other pics here.

At the time of writing this I have no idea whether the 13″ record will fit on a regular turntable.  You may need to get a Texas sized turntable to play this record.

As always be sure to follow us on twitter to be updated with how to win.
