oojavaguru Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Including a playable etched b-side and a "liquid filled" 12"....damn JACK WHITE “SIXTEEN SALTINES” The 12-inch single of Jack White’s “Sixteen Saltines” comes complete with a playable etching on the b-side (designed by George Ingram), a cover of U2’s “Love is Blindness.” Truly a sight to behold, the etching depicts Third Man’s iconic logo and the grooves of the record play through the image, presenting consumers with the world’s first-ever playable etched record ®. As if that weren’t enough, Third Man took the playable etching one step further and used the same parts to make a limited-edition version of the “Saltines” 12-inch single. Not only is the etching playable, but the record itself is pressed on clear vinyl and filled with psychedelic blue liquid. While the soundtrack for the 1978 film The Black Hole was initially prototyped as a liquid-filled disc, problems with leakage prevented it from ever being released. The liquid-filled “Saltines” is the first-ever disc of its kind to be made available to the public. KAREN ELSON “MILK AND HONEY” In addition to these two releases, Third Man is also releasing the new single from Karen Elson. The cover of Jackson C. Frank’s “Milk and Honey” is pressed on milk and honey split-colored vinyl coupled with a laser-cut lace sleeve. The visual these two elements make when combined together is, as you can see, stunning. The WHITE STRIPES “HAND SPRINGS” B/W “RED DEATH AT 6:14” In addition to that, Third Man is releasing a milk and honey swirled colored vinyl of Elson’s single as well as a red vinyl with black whisps edition of the White Stripes “Hand Springs” and “Red Death at 6:14”, two songs that have been out of print on vinyl for over ten years. These two releases, along with the CD/LP release of Jerry Lee Lewis’ live recording at Third Man (that took place on Record Store Day 2011) will be available at ANY record store wise enough to have ordered copies for Record Store Day. The liquid-filled record ® and laser-cut lace split-color will ONLY be available from Third Man Records physical location in Nashville (623 7th Ave S) on Record Store Day, April 21st, 2012. The playable etching will also be available from Third Man and a select number of record stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm psyched that they actually mastered the liquid filled record idea. Would love to get one. I know I never will though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 If it didn't mean punting on everything I actually want on RSD, I'd seriously consider driving up and camping out to get that liquidisc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 when are you getting in linenot sure. Last year I got there 30 minutes to 11 because I went to grimey's first and they had stuff til 3 in the afternoon. The year before, they had the /300 copper raconteurs left over the next Monday. Depending on the weather, I might show up around 8 with some camping chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatom Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 8am is about the time I was thinking as well. I wonder what these are limited to? I got there at 8am for the machine gun tri and was towards the front of the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
