Jack White Is Trying To Hook Kids On Vinyl
Jack White and Third Man Records are releasing a children's music compilation, and a child-friendly turntable. The compilation "This Record Belongs to_" features songs by Harry Nilsson, Woody Guthrie, Nina Simone, Jerry Garcia, and others. It closes with Kermit the Frog's "Rainbow Connection." It comes with a children's book telling the story of five forest friends who discover the joys of listening to music on vinyl. The sets can be pre-ordered through the Third Man Records website (availability date of November 6).
