The Raconteurs release Broken Boy Soldiers with the complete Irving Plaza concert

The Raconteurs released Broken Boy Soldiers (Deluxe) digitally on November 6, 2026. Fourteen live recordings from New York’s Irving Plaza accompany the ten-track debut album. The performance took place on April 7, 2006 and, according to Third Man Records, was the band’s first concert in the United States.

Part of the recording previously appeared in shortened vinyl form within Vault #30. The digital programme restores three encore performances: It Ain’t Easy, Blue Veins and Headin’ for the Texas Border. A House Is Not a Motel also appears in the live section. Studio recordings and concert performances occupy separate sequences.

Third Man simultaneously announced an opaque green vinyl version of the debut for its twentieth anniversary. That edition is scheduled for December 11, with selected record shops receiving it on December 18. The forthcoming vinyl and the already available digital Deluxe have separate release schedules; no new concerts are being announced here.
