Hey All,

Found this during a Google search on vinyl records.  Apologies if it's been 
talked about before.

Jack White of the rock band The White Stripes owns Third Man Records, an 
all-in-one record store, record label, studio, live venue, etc. etc. etc.

Here's his latest invention, a "triple decker record" - a 7 inch 45 inside a 
12 inch LP.  You have to crack open the LP to hear the 45....  Short video 
here, gives a brief history of the label, a few of the label's limited 
issues, and the triple decker.

He's  also involved in a stink on ebay, as instead of customers buying the 
label's limited edition 45's and LP's and flipping them for big bucks on 
ebay, he's now selling them on ebay himself, taking the money and donating 
it.  But that's another topic for another day.

Just thought you'd like to see the new "triple decker".
