The Record Store Day 2013 Ambassador and noted vinyl fanatic Jack White has something special in store for patrons of Third Man Records this Saturday. The opportunity to record your own vinyl via a vintage vinyl recording booth.
Jack White's got his hands on a Voice-O-Graph recording booth from 1947 and he's going to let fans record up to two minutes of themselves performing on to 6-inch discs.
Brendan Benson of White project the Raconteurs showed it off in the video below:
White announced his plans via a statement on Third Man Records website. Check out the statement in full below:
n one of my final acts as Record Store Day ambassador, I encourage everyone who comes to the Third Man Record Store in Nashville to be able to hear themselves on a vinyl record, and maybe even mail it to someone they love.
Actively venturing to your local record shop is one of those honors and privileges in this life that we just shouldn't take for granted. Certain beautiful experiences can only happen in the environment of a record store and I just thought that nothing could drive that point home more than a one-of-a-kind machine that lets you not only record your own vinyl record, but send it to anyone, anywhere in the world to share a song, poem, or private message with. I know those warm, scratchy tones send tingles up (and sometimes down) MY spine. Even if you aren't instrumentally inclined, you could hold up an iphone playing a song and sing along with the music and combine the best of all worlds tangible, digital, and romantic. And for those still skeptical or not sure if they're brave enough to do it, think of it this way; it's almost the same thing as illegally downloading an mp3 and emailing it to someone. Well..., Almost.
Enjoy record store day everyone. i hope that you find that special song and someone makes you smile in the process.
- Jack White III
Instruments will be provided around the booth and recordings will be digitized and broadcast via the Third Man website.
If you won't be in Nashville on Saturday, the booth will become a mainstay of the Novelties Lounge at the store, so feel free to drop by ad try in next time your in the world capital of country music.
