Jack White Announces Official Release of Surprise Album ‘No Name’

The album was originally a free giveaway slipped into the orders of Third Man Records customers.

Jack White’s surprise album No Name is getting an official release tomorrow (Friday, August 1) via his Third Man Records label.

The album first came to the public’s attention earlier this month when copies of it were slipped into Third Man customer’s orders without them knowing.

People began uploading songs from the untitled clear vinyl to YouTube and shared clips of songs via social media. White even played a couple of songs off the album at a show in Nashville on the weekend before announcing the album is getting both an official vinyl and digital release.
