Jack White?

[WS_Jack_III]

Lucky people. I'm going to my local record store tomorrow but they said they might not have it. They better do!

[Amy Lawn]

Going into Piccadilly Records tomorrow to get mine, so, yeah, they better have it!

I'll be rushing home after work to see the ultra LP in action. Looking forward to hearing the different mixes of the tracks and the different intros that 2 have.

^{I ordered mine from amazon and it arrived yesterday (in Uk).}

^{That vinyl is great}

[WS_Jack_III]

I'm sure release day originally said the 10th. Will have to nip into town today then to see if my pre order's come in.

10th for US yeah. It's out today in the UK.

Needle-placement (is that even a thing?) on side A is a pain in the arse. Gimmicky bullshite from Jacky.

[Wooderson]

I have a Monty Python album that does the same thing.. a 3 sided album I think they called it

50-50 chance of hearing what you intended to hear. Which is ok if you're not bothered, but otherwise... yep, a bit gimmicky.

I was trying to explain how it worked to my brother, and his eyes just kept rolling round their sockets.

How many grooves are there on one side of a vinyl disc? one, usually

Theres no "run in" groove on the first track. Silly stuff from White. People are going to wreck their needles spinning in deadwax just trying to start the record.

isn't it supposed to be a 50/50 chance of dropping on the acoustic intro or electric intro to Just One Drink?

Oh and my local record store doesn't have it and possibly won't until next week!

Fuming! This is what happens when you are a loyal to your local store.

I'm on about the start of "Three Women", not "Just One Drink" mate. Thought I've heard theres a problem with that track aswell.

Am i the only one here who's not feeling this? What I want from White is a shed load of big riffs and some form of deeply unhinged vocal but most of the records sees him venturing further towards honky tonk country and western which doesn't float my boat at all. In fact it's as disappointing as Get Behind Me Satan. I'll be watching him but mostly for the early Stripes stuff.

i am pretty much in the same boat as you. at least get behind me satan had 'my doorbell, 'take take take', 'the denial twist' and 'instinct blues', 'red rain'... far better than this solo record!

hope he plays 'screwdriver' and 'ball and biscuit'.

Ball and Biscuit is exactly what I'm after! In fact I wouldn't complain if he did that for an hour straight!

Theres 4 or 5 tunes on this record that will go down an absolute treat at Glasters. The "honky tonk and c&w" stuff you don't seem to be that keen on is EXACTLY what I'm loving about the record. "Blunderbuss pt. 2" this ain't - but played back to back theyre reminiscient of "Exile". Thats a good thing.

Each to his own I guess. Glad you like it though - the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things.

[WS_Jack_III]

That's shite is that. Their fault or the record company's?

Will have to brave the rain to go pick mine up this aft.

ninesick

to be fair the store has been shut because of a death in the family and the only just reopened so I think they're a bit behind on orders. Really wanted to hear the vinyl version of it tonight. I'll make do with a recording of the governor's ball show.

Yeah sorry I misread your post.

[LondonTom]

I might give in this evening and stop waiting for my vault package

[kingcrawler]

He's playing The Hydro in November so I'm assuming a full tour will be announced today.

Edit: He's playing Leeds and London as well http://jackwhiteiii.com/tour-dates/

[Dom Wall]

Tour announced:

Leeds arena (17th Nov)

Hydro (18th)

O2 (19th)

Very tempted, but being a student (possibly) living in newcastle, not the easiest.

[WS_Jack_III]

Nice one, I'll have to go to Leeds.

[Dom Wall]

I quite fancy leeds with the new (and smaller than others?) arena...but risking going solo from newcastle? Not sure.

Edit: not the fact of going there solo, just not sure if I'm that bothered to go solo to leeds from newc, haha.

[RossTC]

Leeds or London, pretty naff and on week nights. Bit gutted about that tbh!

[Wooderson]

[WS_Jack_III]

Surprised he's doing arenas to be honest. Agreed it's naff being on weeknights. When are tickets on sale? I'm still at work so can't look but can have a sly look at this site.

[CHRLY]

Wish he was doing blackpool again
