how to get restock alerts for Third Man Records
Third Man treats the record itself as the limited object. Coloured and split pressings, odd formats, and short runs are the house style, not an occasional promotion, and the store sells them as events rather than stock.
Both a US store and a UK store are tracked, which matters because the UK side exists specifically so European buyers avoid transatlantic postage and customs. The two do not carry identical ranges.

how Third Man presses records
Deliberately short runs
Pressings designed to be limited, not limited by demand. Sold out here is permanent.
Unusual formats
Split colours, odd sizes and non-standard pressings, listed as separate products from the standard edition.
Store exclusives by region
The UK and US stores run their own ranges, so a record on one isn't guaranteed on the other.

how to actually get one
Use the store in your region
The UK store avoids the customs charges that make a transatlantic order cost far more than the record.
Keyword on format, not just artist
Terms like split and 7 inch catch the pressings that make this label worth watching, across the whole roster.
Act on the first alert
Short runs by design means there's no restock cycle to wait for.
questions
How do I get Third Man Records restock alerts?
Add the Third Man stores, set a keyword for the artist or format you want, and you get a push notification when stock appears.
Which Third Man stores do you track?
The US store and the UK store. The coverage list on this page is read from the live store list.
Do limited pressings come back?
Generally no. Short runs are the point of the label rather than a side effect, so treat a sell-out as final.
Should I order from the UK or US store?
Whichever is in your region. The UK store exists to spare European buyers the postage and customs on a US order.
