Jack White Offers Fans Chance To Make Vinyl Recording For Record Store Day 2013

Musical genius Jack White is inviting fans to come to his studio in Nashville so they can record themselves on vinyl, as part of this year’s Record Store Day celebrations.
White is the official ambassador of Record Store Day 2013, and to mark the occasion, he’s inviting fans to use his 1947 Voice-o-Graph - the only public vinyl recording booth in the world - to record themselves saying, singing, rapping, or grunting whatever they want onto a six-inch phonographic disc.
Speaking via a statement on Third Man, White said:
“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.”
The idea will run in conjunction with Third Man, who are offering people the chance to send their recordings across the globe to their loved ones, or stream their recordings on their website. What do you think of the idea? Let us know in the comment section below!
