JACK WHITE’S LAZARETTO THE BIGGEST SELLING VINYL LP SINCE 1994

BIGGEST SELLING VINYL LP OF 2014
“Easily the best rock album so far this year” – LOS ANGELES TIMES

“highly-charged, wonderfully weird and typically eclectic treasure chest of tunes that rank with his best.” – USA TODAY

“further cements White’s position as the 21st century’s greatest Stones-age revivalist” – ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Jack White’s second solo LP, Lazaretto – released June 10 on Third Man/Columbia – is the biggest selling vinyl LP of 2014 and currently holds the largest vinyl sales volume of any year since Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy in 1994, according to Billboard. With over 62,000 vinyl units sold, vinyl LP sales of Lazaretto account for roughly 25% of the album’s total sales. In its debut week, Lazaretto sold over 40,000 copies making it the highest first-week vinyl sales since SoundScan began tracking sales data in 1991.

The standard vinyl edition of Lazaretto comes to fans in the form of the ULTRA LP which features all sorts of innovative gems. Select features include two vinyl-only hidden tracks beneath the center labels, dual intros – one acoustic, one electric – for “Just One Drink”, a hand-etched hologram and a plethora of other mind-boggling characteristics. Watch Jack discuss everything the ULTRA LP offers during his recent chat with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.

Jack continues to deliver barn-burning performances on his world tour that leave fans and critics alike in fits of ecstasy. See the itinerary below to find out when Jack is coming to town with his all-star band. Visit http://jackwhiteiii.com/tour-dates/ for detailed information and tickets.
