Jack White has defied the ever-evolving technological jump of digital music by selling 40,000 vinyls of his new album, Lazaretto. Take that, future!
This means that the former White Stripes guitarist/vocalist and now-solo artist has the biggest vinyl sales record, since SoundScan began tracking music sales, even beating out Pearl Jam’s 1004 LP success, Vitalogy.
Interestingly enough, White’s new vinyl album features two bonus tracks cut into the center labels that each play at a different speed: one at 45 r.p.m. and the other at 78 r.p.m. Side A of the record plays from the inside out, and there’s even a hologram etched into the disc.
Now let’s see him do that with laser disc, then we’ll be impressed.
