Jack White unveils 'Lazaretto Ultra', the deluxe edition of his upcoming album

Jack White's new album "Lazaretto" is due out on June 10, via Third Man Records... and the vinyl version will be truly amazing. It has been christened "Lazaretto Ultra" and it will be a real collector's item, with its many bizarre and unusual feature.

To explain what we can expect from it, White also released a video, unveiling every detail. Here are some of the features:

- 180 gram vinyl
- 2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the centre labels
- 1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM and 1 plays at 45 RPM, making this a three-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 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
- Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering
- Different running order from the CD/digital version
- Utilizes some mixes different from those used on CD/digital versions

And here is the video:
