pistols2sky Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 New Jack White LP is up for pre-order. What everyone's going to be talking about though are all the bells and whistles on this thing. Third Man is calling it their "Ultra LP." Here's what it's got -- - 180 gram vinyl- 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels- 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record - Side A plays from the outside in- Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song.- Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record- Both sides end with locked grooves- Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format- Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record- Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering- Different running order from the CD/digital version- LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version Pretty crazy. I hope the features don't outshine the music. "High Ball Stepper" rips. Anyway, you can pre-order it here: http://thirdmanstore.com/jack-white-lazaretto-12-vinyl And watch a video of Jack and Ben explaining the "Ultra LP" here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinji Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 As long as this is the retail version which everyone is saying it is, I'm going to be picking this up upon release day at my record store. The clips from the video sounded cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 And it's the standard version, so every one will be this format. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derby625 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Waiting for a preorder from Amazon. It's up here on Amazon for $26 with the pre-order guarantee. That's where I'm snagging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpaul Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 as awesome as some of these features are (I'm a major nerd so I really dig these gimmicky features), I just can't get myself to buy it. I'm just not a fan of his music. I don't care what anyone says though, this shit is neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 And all for a $20 price tag. So much respect for Third Man as a label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcowboyrojo Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 picked one up. I'm surprised this one was the standard issue at $20. I couldn't pass it up. Third Man comes up with some pretty insane but cool ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You all watched the video and saw the hologram right? That is just way too cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You all watched the video and saw the hologram right? That is just way too cool! easily the coolest part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorgante Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Watched the video, so insane! Time after time he's just full of a million super great ideas from a marketing standpoint....but I just can't get behind the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necroking Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yeah not a big Jack White fan but will probably pick it up. The price is right and the angel hologram is fucking awesome. I think every record from here on out should be required to have a spinning hologram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You all watched the video and saw the hologram right? That is just way too cool! Super cool. I said "no way" out loud. seamoney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Blunderbuss was fantastic and I expect the same from Lazaretto. Will be snagging this next pay day. Watch the video if you haven't, still blows my mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mibabalou Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This is only $20 and hot topic can't even figure out how to sell a single LP that sounds decent with good art for under $25... laralaurent, sacredheart and thesewoodenideas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This is only $20 and hot topic can't even figure out how to sell a single LP that sounds decent with good art for under $25...Yes, because hot topic already owns the rights to every album that they physically press on vinyl themselves after Travis personally remasters them.Sub Pop and Fat Wreck know how to do it. But this album with all the bells and whistles for $20 is a nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yes, because hot topic already owns the rights to every album that they physically press on vinyl themselves after Travis personally remasters them. Sub Pop and Fat Wreck know how to do it. But this album with all the bells and whistles for $20 is a nice surprise. Hot Topic physically presses zero records.
