This is pretty damn awesome! In anticipation of the April 24 release of Jack White's debut solo album Blunderbuss (Third Man Records/Columbia), on April 1st Third Man Records tied 1000 flex-disc records containing an unreleased Jack White album track "Freedom at 213 to blue helium balloons and launched them from TMR headquarters in Nashville, TN. According to the press release, similar balloon launches show a recovery rate of approx. 10%, so probably less than 100 of the 1000 records will actually ever be discovered. But [...]

Esse Jack White não para, e não cansa de inventar coisas. Dessa vez ele resolveu literalmente “lançar” seu novo single, Freedom at 21 . Junto com sua equipe da Third Man Records , Jack preparou mil cópias de um vinil transparente, pendurou o material em balões de gás hélio e soltou pelo céu de Nashville, Tennessee. Junto com os discos, em cada balão há um cartão com instruções parta os sortudos que encontrarem o vinil com o single que estará no aguardado álbum solo do cantor, Blunderbuss , lançado no dia 23 de [...]

Three weeks before the "Blunderbuss" album release date, Jack White and his Third Man Records have released the track "Freedom at 21 " exclusively as a flexi disc attached to helium balloons. They set 1000 records free from the label's headquarters in Nashville on April Fool's Day. Part fun and part real experiment, White has always explored non-traditional forms of record distribution to get records in the hands of people who don't visit record shops. Third Man used biodegradable latex balloons and all-natural twine [...]

Hace algunos días les platicamos que la disquera de Jack White (T hird Man Records ) había la lanzado el primer disco del mundo que corre a 3 RPM , cualidad que lo hace prácticamente imposible de reproducir. Eso ya sonaba bastante extravagante, muy clavado dirán algunos. Pues en un esfuerzo por superar su excentricidad, el día de ayer (1 de abril) en Third Man Records llenaron 1000 globos con helio, a cada uno le colocaron una copia de “Freedom at 21” (tema que forma parte del [...]

The JACK WHITE has made his new single, FREEDOM 31 , avail on flexi-disc, via helium balloons. See below for more wacky deets ..

In an attempt to come up with more non-traditional channels of distribution for the music at Third Man Records , Jack White and his snazzily-dressed staff launched a limited edition first ever flexi-disc single for "Freedom At 21" into the air yesterday (no foolin') via large helium balloons. Not sure how far the helium balloons will travel but I am doubtful that I will get ahold of one all the way in Brooklyn. Sigh. The good news is so far none are on eBay (as of the time of this post), so that means either they're still [...]

You know the phrase "Think outside the box"? Well it seems Jack White has left the box behind entirely and is aiming for "Think outside the atmosphere." April 1st may have been April Fools Day but to White it was a day to release a brand new song in a completely new way. He and his cohorts at Third Man Records decided to release 1,000 copies of an unreleased Jack White track called "Freedom At 213 via helium balloon. Allow the Third Man Records website to explain: Envisioned [...]
