*** To eliminate any confusion, I have TWO of these up for auction on my account. This is # 2 of 2, purchased by my housemate today at Third Man Records ***
Liquid-filled record ONLY available from Third Man Records physical location in Nashville (623 7th Ave S) on Record Store Day, April 21st, 2012.
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®.This is an entirely different process (and look) from your Styx and Split Enz records from the 80’s. No lasers, holograms, or rainbows are involved in this playable etching.
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.
Free domestic shipping, will take utmost care in packaging to prevent damage and will ship insured. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS please inquire about shipping costs. Happy bidding, and happy RSD 2012!
