Jack White Liquid Vinyl

MattCam420

Hey guys,

Was just curious if anyone scored one of these on RSD? I wasn't aware of them until a friend told me and I googled it and it looks very cool! Does this thing play like a normal record, just kind of wondering because if I do pursue one, I did want to spin it. If it is more of just a cool looking prop, I might pass but this thing immediately caught my attention when I heard about it. Right now the prices I see on the bay are a little out of my price range. Sorry if there is a topic on this record, didn't see one.

Thanks

Yeah, like I said, out my price range I don't even know what it originally was sold for in stores on RSD.

I was just curious if it actually plays, I read one description on there and the guy was saying how it sounded like shit. Something about how the liquid shifts from side to side as it spins. It looks pretty damn cool though. Just wondering if anyone here scored one and had some feedback on it. Just the thought of a vinyl record with liquid in it intrigued the hell out of me

Pretty insane. I saw a guy on Twitter who grabbed one. He said he got in line at 8:45 the night before, store opened at 10, and eventually got one by noon. Would have loved to have gotten my hands on one, but I don't live in Nashville.

Thanks for the link!

Sooo, does the liquid serve any purpose other than aesthetics? Liquid anywhere near vinyl just seems like a bad idea all around, let alone inside one!

Looks cool though, I wouldn't turn one down if opportunity presented itself

Yeah... that just seems...weird. Looks cool... but so would vinyl set on fire.
Jack White seems to be obsessed with putting stuff inside the vinyl!

I don't get it. If you need to crack it open, why not make it two separate vinyls? And does the 12" still play ok after you crack it? And why is that a triple and not double decker?

haha, oh the questions. I would guess the 12" snaps back together if you open it. Triple decker because you have both sides of the 12 inch that split apart to reveal the 7." Kind of like a sandwich? I dunno, thats my guess. I agree, kind of weird :?

My understanding is that it totally does snap back together

Now how about the 3rpm record

:oops: :oops: Thanks for indulging me. I think they should call it the sandwich so that it's not so confusing

I know someone who got one. Posts here on occasion, too. These things are going to have life expectancies. I can't imagine that liquid will stay inside forever, and if I owned one, i'd be reaping the benefits while the reaping is good.

I am dying to know what the original retal was. Heared somewhere it was around $100, true?

Yup $100, have you seen what these are going for now? INSANE.
