Editorial Reviews
Special edition 180-gram vinyl LP with one 45rpm track and one 78rpm track. Etched. Jack White has long congratulated himself for being a musician who blends the lines between the past and the present. "Lazaretto," the follow-up to his gold-certified debut album, "Blunderbuss," does exactly this. There's blues influences here; there's ballads. There's hip-hop rhythms and then there's sprightly melodies. Drama seems to be key in describing this album, and it makes itself known in the fury essential to each track. The 180-gram LP includes two bonus tracks hidden under the center labels. One hidden track plays at 78 RPM, and one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record. Side A plays from the outside in. Dual-groove technology: plays an electric or acoustic intro for 'Just One Drink' depending on where the 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. Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of it's kind on a vinyl record.

Some are not new ones, but to have them put all together in one place is certainly unique. What you have as a result of all of it is a love letter to Vinyl. I think Jack White grew up with the format and has a bit of a love affair with it. This record pulls out all the stops in an attempt to be utterly unique. It surely pulls that off in spades, making the listening experience in vinyl more than just a listen. It’s a bit of an adventure, exploring the features. I think that was the point. You don’t get that kind of experience from MP3s.
Here's a list:
* The record is heavy at 180 grams. It’s a solid and thick record.
* The edge of the record is a flat edge as opposed to the traditional beveled edge.
* Side B has a matte finish and Side A has a traditional glossy finish.
* The record was mastered and recorded in analogue with no digital compression.
* Side A plays from the inside of the record to the outside, meaning you have to do your needle drop at the end of the record instead of the beginning. I do find it’s a little hard to drop the needle in the right place to start the first track. If your turntable has poor antiskate, this issue is exacerbated..
* Side A has a locked groove at the end. Meaning that when the needle hits the end of the last track, it goes into a loop and plays a recorded sound.
* Side A has a hand-etched hologram of an angel in the runout (inside blank area of the record) of the side. When you shine light on it at the right angle, a rotating angel can be seen appearing to hover above the record.
* Side A has an under label secret groove that plays at 78 rpm. You drop the needle right on the label and it’ll play. I’ve heard of under label grooves before, but never ones where you play them without removing the label.
* Side B’s first track has a two intros. Using a technique where multiple grooves are cut next to one another, the intro you get is dependent on where you drop the needle when you start the record. After the intro, the track plays as normal. So on different playbacks, you might get different intros. Their video says this has never been done before, but there was a MAD Magazine flexiDesc in the 1970’s that did the reverse, playing a static song at the beginning that branched out into different versions later on. Still, it’s really a trip to hear different intros on different playthoughs.
* Side B has an under label secret groove that plays at 45 rpm. You drop the needle right on the label and it’ll play.
A few thoughts.
First is that aside from the fun features of this record, the music on this album is great. I haven’t listened to a lot of his work, but I was quite impressed and this album has gone on to get not a little playtime in my house. There’s a lot of great musicianship on display here. The musical style is eclectic, including a multitude of styles including country elements, rock and a range of other things.
Side B of the record uses the entire side right up to the label. This isn’t a problem unless you use a linear tracking turntable. Most LT Turntables will stop well before they reach the label. I know they’re not as common these days, but it’s something to be aware of. As an added note, using said turntable also means you will not be able to listen to the hidden tracks.
If you’re into vinyl this is almost a must have. From the side that plays the “wrong way” to the hologram, this is the sort of record you show off to your friends when they’re over. Definitely recommended!
Now for the vinyl junkies, this is, quite literally, something unlike anything you've ever experienced before. Jack invented something he calls the "Ultra LP" for this 180 gram pressing, which includes:
- 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
- 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels (one at 78 RPM, one at45 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
- Different running order from the CD/digital version
- LP utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD and digital version
Now for my favorite feature, absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering. that means this album (only on vinyl) was recorded in analog, mastered in analog, and (obviously) pressed in analog. If you get the CD or MP3, the album was mastered in digital.
All in all, I feel like this album is a no-brainer and a steal for any vinyl junkies, or even those who just love music.

Entre las curiosidades que tiene este vinyl es qeu el lado A se toca de adentro hacia afuera, puedes ver un ángel dando vueltas y la primera pista del lado B tiene un intro acústico y uno eléctrico dependiendo de donde pongas la aguja.
Kant 1 speelt van binnen naar buiten af, een leuke toevoeging. Wel jammer dat je niet goed het begin van track 1 kan pakken met je naald.
Een must have als je van Jack White houdt, en dit soort gekke platen kan waarderen.
