Jack White's label puts its entire single series on one impossible to play 3RPM record

by Tyler Munro

Jack White’s Third Man Records has been runnings its Blue Series single…series…for three years, and as you might imagine it’s probably not easy fitting each release onto a single record. But they did it, cramming every Blues Series single ever onto the world’s first 3RPM record. The problem is, it’s nearly impossible to listen to.

As evidenced by a few videos you’ll find below, the music on the record plays at an impossibly fast pace, meaning you’ll need to drag your finger across the vinyl as it plays to slow it to the appropriate pace. Obviously that’s easier said than done. The release was given away for free at the label’s recent three year anniversary party, but it’ll probably cost you a pretty penny on the after-market. Head to the label’s website to read more about the release, which seems to be titled The First Three Years of Blue Series Singles on One LP at 3RPM. [via MLive]
