Record Store Day 2013 (April 20th) is quickly approaching. This year's Record Store Day Ambassador is the one and only Jack White. Jack White seems to be the perfect representative for the cause. Not only has he released countless albums with The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather as well as a solo album; he also runs his own record label and owns his own record store. Jack White is the "Jack of all trades" when it comes to the music industry. Not only has he produced and help released a lot of new music, he has also found the time to repress and re-release old blues records as well. You can check out his official Record Store Day Ambassador video as well as read his "Ambassadorial Wake Up Call" here.
In addition to all his Ambassador duties, Jack White has found time along with the rest of his Third Man crew to refurbish a 1947 Voice-o-Graph machine that is currently the world's only record booth of its kind that is operational and open to the public. The Third Man Record Booth will be debuted at the Nashville Third Man Record Store on Record Store Day. Check out a video of this incredible machine here.
Well this is nice to see- we have a similar but older model. Ours says 25 cents. love to hook up with the tech who fixed it. We were given this from a friend who had a booth at the 1964 Seattle Worlds Fair. They say is the booth Elvis recorded in.
ReplyDeleteOur studio Bear Creek Studio is 35 years old- on a farm- the Lumineers and Brandi Carlile recorded their latest albums here.
Come on in Jack!
