Remember on April Fool's Day when Jack White and Third Man Records released copies of a new limited edition single on flexi-disc and distributed them via helium balloons? No?
Well, as it turns out, a lucky soul in possession of one of the "Freedom at 21" flexidiscs is auctioning it off on Ebay and the current bid is around $1300.00 (the bidding started at $150.00). Keep in mind the auction isn't over yet, so who knows how much crazier it will get.
This is just the tip of the iceberg because there's no question that the limited edition Jack White "Sixteen Saltines" Record Store Day releases (the etched 12 inch and liquid 12 inch singles) will go for even more. If you haven't seen the unique Record Store Day releases from Jack White, take a look at them below (forward to 2:05).
Unfortunately, both limited edition releases will only be available at the Third Man Records headquarters in Nashville. If it's any consolation to fans outside of Nashville, the Vault just announced the latest installment for subscribers (package #12), and it features a White Stripes live DVD, Under New Zealand Lights, featuring unreleased footage from the band's 2000 and 2003 shows. The Vault package also includes vinyl releases from Raconteurs and Karen Elson. Those interested in this set of releases have up to April 30th to join the Vault in order to be eligible for this package.
