Jack White/Norah Jones/Danger Mouse collaboration

Figured I'd pass this along.

Beat me to the link. Here is the big points to me:
Avoiding what would have been an ironic twist, the album will also see the light of day in its intended vinyl format, thanks to White's Nashville-based label, Third Man Records.

The album is scheduled for release in May and plans to try to play it live is "in the works".


So may release....um shouldn't we have a date by now? I mean it looks like May 17th for USA, and if that is the TBA date on the calander, I guess I need to use a personal day... any one have any ideas to what color the special edition will be?

Found this in my inbox courtesy of the Raconteurs mailing list

"Over five years in the making, ROME was born out of Danger Mouse and composer/arranger Daniele Luppi's shared passion for classic Italian film music. After an intense songwriting period, the pair traveled to Rome where they sought out several of the original musicians who performed on scores for films such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West. Played and recorded live, straight to tape and in keeping with the recording practices of the 1960s/70s golden age, this ambitious and beautiful record also features vocal contributions from Jack White and Norah Jones. Rome will be released through Parlophone/EMI on May 16th UK/May 17th US. You can purchase the current singles and pre-order the album (including an option with a special screen print) from HERE.http://widgets.platform.emi.com/landing ... 728e9.html"

Since it's coming out in the UK you might also want to pre order the limited double LP here:

So this 2 LP 45 rpm version, do we think this is only a European release? Or do we think we can just get that cheaper on Capital over here..?

I expect it to be a worldwide release

I just hate to preorder something that's like 50 Pounds or Euros or whatever, if I can get it here for $35.

I preordered on amazon and got an email this morning that the Rome vinyl would arrive between June 27-July1 instead of May 17th.

Hey Tommy, haven't seen you around much lately...
I hope what you posted isn't true.

I got the same email, and now Amazon's site has this note on the vinyl version only:
This title will be released on June 21, 2011.
