ARTIST: Jack White
TITLE: Lazaretto
FORMAT: LP
LABEL: Third Man
CATALOG #: TMR-271
RECORD CONDITION: NEW
JACKET CONDITION: NEW
DESCRIPTION: ULTRA LP! 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels. 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record. Side A plays from the inside out. Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song. Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record. Both sides end with locked grooves. Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format. Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record. Zero compression used in the mastering. There is a different running order from the CD/digital version. The LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version.


"Like "blunderbuss," a "lazaretto" is an ancient reference that means little in the modern world, a fact that does not escape Jack White, a musician who specializes in blurring lines between past and present. Contrary to his carefully cultivated persona as a raider of lost Americana, White never, ever was a purist: he thrived upon seizing the precise moment when accepted definitions lose all meanings and turn into something new. This tension surfaces on Lazaretto, his second solo album, a record that lives upon the edges of his interests. There is a fair share of blues bluster -- via Zeppelin riffs and huffed references to digital cameras, the opener "Three Women" modernizes Blind Willie McTell, while he twists a refrain from Howlin' Wolf's "I Asked for Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)" on "Just One Drink" -- but Lillie Mae Rische's violin occupies nearly as much space as his own howling guitars, pushing White into the left field where he prefers to reside. With Lazaretto, that amounted to adapting a clutch of fiction he wrote when he was 19, using the themes of these stories and plays to not only fuel the topics, but to freshen his songwriting, which was veering ever so slightly toward craftsmanship on Blunderbuss. " - Stephen Thomas Erlewine and allmusic.com
