Third Man Records Will Release Rare 1973 Johnny Cash Concert

Newly Unearthed

Third Man Records, which was founded by The White Stripes’ Jack White, is set to release Vault Package No. 45 – an archival Johnny Cash concert at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles on July 31. Dubbed as “A Night to Remember”, this newly unearthed performance was recorded on May 5, 1973 as part of “A Week to Remember” – a series of concerts helmed by Columbia Records and record executive Clive Davis.

The collection will include a gold foil LP jacket, a double vintage-white LP, a gold 7″ single with two “unreleased Forever Words pieces by Ruston Kelly and a mystery artist”, plus a DVD of the performance.
