By now, you’ve probably heard that before he formed the White Stripes with his ex-wife, Jack White worked as an upholsterer in his native Detroit. He actually named his label, Third Man Records, after his old upholstering company.
The story goes that, before he made it big, White and his partner Brian Muldoon, with whom he formed the aptly named band the Upholsterers, hid copies of their second single inside random pieces of furniture.
10 years later, somebody’s finally found a copy.
Third Man Records shared yesterday that two separate individuals found copies of Your Furniture Was Always Dead… I Was Just Afraid To Tell You inside their furniture. But wait, why were they ripping up their furniture?
