Jack White, the former White Stripes front - man, takes vinyl records to new heights on his latest solo album. With an extremely ambitious approach, it almost feels like the actual music is just the icing on the cake. This limited - edition 180 - gram vinyl is a true collector's item. There are 2 vinyl - only tracks hidden under the center labels, 1 hidden track playing at 78 RPM and another at 45 RPM, making it a 3 - speed record. Side A plays from the inside out! One of the coolest features is the 'dual groove' on 'Just One Drink'. Depending on where you drop the needle, it plays either an electric or acoustic intro, and then the grooves come together for the rest of the song. The LP also has a matte finish on Side B, looking like an un - played 78 RPM record. Both sides end with locked grooves, and Side A has a hand - etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, a first for a vinyl record. It can be used in MIDI mode as a controller for software, and there's zero compression during recording, mixing, and mastering. Musically, 'Three Women' is a wild southern - rock jam, 'Temporary Ground' offers a classic Nashville duet, and 'Alone in My Home' is a bright and happy tune. Jack White's country - blues - punk style is as vibrant as ever. Music label: Third Man Records 2014.
