And Record Store Day Ambassador
Jack White has reached into the Third Man vault for a limited edition remastered pressing of
Elephant, the most excellent White Stripes classic recorded at Toe Rag studios and the BBC's Maida Vale studio in London (where Bowie and Bing sang Christmas carols). Look for
Elephant on split color black and red and white vinyl in all its analog splendor.
The icing on the shellac cake might be the limited edition poster of Jimi Hendrix in a London record shop taken shortly before the release of
Are You Experienced in 1967. Break open the piggy bank, bring a snack, and get ready for long lines of vinyl hungry hipsters.
