JAY Z's twelfth studio album, Magna Carta… Holy Grail, is now pressed on two 180 gram LP's, heavy as the material carved into them, complete with a printed lyric insert, poetic as the gatefold it's slipped in between.

MAGNA CARTA HOLY GRAIL 2 LP GATEFOLD EDITION
Most exciting about this double LP is certainly the concealed postcard flexi disc hidden within the back cover and only accessible to those willing to take a knife to the iconic packaging. Once freed of its casing, this flexi disc plays a super secret hidden track. You'll just have to hear it for yourself, because we sure don't plan to ruin the mystery of it here.
The record is available for purchase NOW at thirdmanstore.com, and will be at your local, independent record store within a few weeks.
*Third Man sold the limited edition 7" vinyl set back in March, available only in store for our grand opening, and via the Vault Novelties shop.
Although I didn’t have any difficulty freeing the postcard, I am having difficulty getting it to play without skipping straight across—does anybody have any tips? I’ve tried with/without adapter, with/without slip mat, on top of/not on top of the vinyl, and various combinations of the above. I don’t want to mess with the weight of the arm as it’s perfect for vinyl (and both the albums sound awesome), and I know it’s the correct speed. So, advice appreciated.
One side and slide it out.
Do you have to cut the entire square out or just one side and slide it out?
all in good taste…
all it good taste LJ… i promise
i like DECONSTRUCT as a general concept of finding the quality inside or remaking things better than they originally were… but i gotta admit that there was a bit of vengeance towards the Kay going on… but i think that was frustration at the Seven Nation Army Oversimplification Ratio… things got more creative after that bout of ‘im over it all …kill it it al!!’ kinda stuff… great image though… i have done some sketches of the shiva as a short order cook and i even did a shiva of little jack playing banjo and stand up bass while turning water into wine for my dead weather comic book … it was tricky
For those into JAY Z that is some impressive deal!
There needs to be more releases like this. Some albums just deserve to be on vinyl, regardless of how many digital or cd units have been sold.
New Vinyl by Ghostface Killah and Public Enemy 2015 is looking like a very good year for Vinyl!
Just another reason to pump up the volume on the portable turntable and give that treadmill hell. Yeah, boiiiiiiii
Methinks I see an ‘Open Letter’
I LOVE this virile presentation and if the flexi postcard is my Godfather’s theme song, I will make you an offer you can’t refuse. $20
