Jack White is planning the 'World’s Fastest Released Record' for Record Store Day.
The rock icon was among 87 names confirmed for Glastonbury on Friday and will release 'Lazaretto', his second studio album, on June 9.
For Record Store Day, April 19, though, he intends to record and release a live cut of the title track for sale at his own Third Man Records store. A website post confirmed the details:
"At 10am in the morning, Jack will take the stage in Third Man’s blue room and record direct-to-acetate what will serve as the limited edition version of his next single, a live rendition of the title track from his upcoming LP Lazaretto. The masters will then be rushed over to United Record Pressing, who will immediately begin pressing 45s.
"The sleeves will be printed from pictures taken at the show. The finished records will be whisked back to Third Man to sell to awaiting fans. All in the same day. All in a matter of mere hours. As long as there are fans in line waiting to buy the single, United will continue to press and deliver them to Third Man to sell. Even if it takes all day."
