Mid-Century Record Recorder


I am at the exact right age where the White Stripes hit me hard, and I will pretty much fall in love with anything Jack White does. But everyone should fall in love with this, including mid-century fans.

Third Man Records (Jack White's label) has refurbished as 1947 Voice-O-Graph, making it the only working vinyl recording booth in the world. You can record up to two minutes and leave with a record in hand.

And if you look closely in the background of the video, around the :42 second mark, you'll see that they also have another mid-century machine of marvel in their store – a Mold-A-Rama.

So who's up for a road trip to Nashville?

  1. I love the white stripes too! I saw them for the first time in 2003, and have seen Jack in various bands 16 times since then. It's always a treat!

    This video is the most I've enjoyed Brendan Benson pretty much ever.

    Also, it's JACK, not Jake. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

    1. Well, that's I what I get for typing too fast and posting too late in the night. I thought my 6 or so times seeing Mr. White in various bands was impressive, but 16 - wow, that's impressive.

  2. I'm a freak, what can I say?

    White Stripes - 6
    Raconteurs - 1
    Dead Weather - 3
    Wanda Jackson and Jack White - 1
    Jack White - 5

    And I'd see him again tomorrow if I could.

    I hope you get to Third Man Records in Nashville one day! It's not all MCM, but it's all pretty darn spiffy.
