All the Bees But You
Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2017 5:50 pm
Hello Swirlers, this might be my first post and forgive me if it's been discussed before. But, I noticed this article yesterday on pitchfork -http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1252-9-re ... uld-break/ . There's a paragraph in there that talks about a third album that was released only as a reel to reel... Any truth to this?? I searched around and couldn't find anything else specific other then the above article, which makes me think its BS. Just wanted to double check, cheers!
Jack White’s New Album First to Be Exclusively Released As Reel-to-Reel Tape Album
When Beck released 2012’s Song Reader, Jack White was upset, claiming that Beck had stolen the idea while rifling through a pile of White’s assorted documents late one evening after the two had imbibed absinthe during a winter sleepover. (The sleepover was meant as a brainstorming session for a collaborative children’s album of Devo covers.) Years later, after cutting ties with Beck, White goes to work on a new Raconteurs album, All the Bees But You, which is released in limited edition as analog tape. No, not a cassette: a beautifully packaged copy of the recording tape to which the album was tracked.
Fans, angry at not being able to play the new music, lash out at White on Twitter. His response? “If you truly loved music you’d already own and listen to all of your songs on a reel-to-reel player.”
