JACK WHITE & ALIEN TECHNOLOGY!

LAZARETTO - ULTRA LP

 

The ULTRA features of this album are unlike anything we've ever seen before...

Well worth a wee mention on here... check them out!

If you're a JACK WHITE fan this HAS to be more than a little bit exciting...

If you also love technology... this is just kind of crazy!!

 

- 180 gram vinyl
- 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels
- 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record 
- Side A plays from the inside out
- Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song.
- Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record
- Both sides end with locked grooves
- Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format
- Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record
- Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering
- Different running order from the CD/digital version
- LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version

 

Here's Jack talking about the new album....

Love FLYING NUN? This-is-a-must-read-article !!! Graeme Downes and Jeff Harford....

Posted on May 08, 2014 by Irene Hundleby

Love FLYING NUN?

Ever wondered what this scene was really like in 80s Dunedin?

We so enjoyed this candid interview and thought you might too ... Check out the link below! 

Graeme Downes (Verlaines) and Jeff Harford (Bored Games) share some insight into the Flying Nun scene and life in Dunedin bands during this iconic time...

For those of you that haven't heard, in April 2014 Flying Nun re-released two great Dunedin Sound albums - the Dunedin Double EP (The Verlaines, The Sneaky Feelings, The Chills and The Stones) and Bored Games - Who Killed Colonel Mustard...

and yes if you would like a copy of either ... we still have a few copies left ... 

ENJOY!
