Yes, I bought this record initially for the vinyl trickery. This "Ultra LP" -- as Jack White and his Third Man Records label have dubbed it -- is crammed to the brim with weird little features that I've never seen on a record before. They had a NINE MINUTE demonstration video of how to play the record and after watching I immediately pre-ordered it. I'm a sucker. Now, was it worth it?
Since the White Stripes broke up due to Meg's crippling anxieties and stage fright, Jack has kept busy. First with The Raconteurs, a decent blues rock band but pretty vanilla (like the Stripes with less heart), and then with Dead Weather who were more interesting with those female vocals but still failed to make much of an impression me. 2012's Blunderbuss was his first time going solo and he started off solid, but it felt like he didn't fully go for it. Mr. Joe Pelone agrees. But rather than just download this new one or buy the CD, considering White's great musical history and all these crazy vinyl tricks -- all for the price of most standard vinyl LPs -- Lazarettowas worth the gamble...by greg0rb
