Notre Dame grad Ben Blackwell ('00) and his uncle Jack White discuss the very unique and interesting features 'pressed' into White's new LP
(From Nashville SCENE) "In keeping with their tradition of self-imposed, elaborate, novel innovations in record pressing and album packaging, Jack White and his crew at Third Man Records sure aren’t skimping on the analog anomalies (like locked grooves and an A-side that plays from the outside in) and tangible Easter eggs (like hidden tracks that play at 78 RPM) when it comes to the singer’s recently released sophomore solo LP Lazaretto.
"Check out this video of White and his nephew/TMR lieutenant and resident record geek (and 2000 Notre Dame graduate) Ben Blackwell dry-wittedly demo-ing the features of what White calls 'The Lazaretto Ultra LP' — a long-playing collector’s cornucopia of crafty wax work."
