Record Store Day 2014: Jack White attempts to record 'world's fastest released record'

 Former White Stripes frontman will try to get music from studio to store in quickest time possible.

Jack White, the former White Stripes frontman, is attempting to break the record for the “world’s fastest released record” from studio to store

 

In 1956 it reportedly took Elvis seven hours to cut a record, released five weeks later. The speed of the process was, at the time, considered remarkable.

A little over a decade later, when the by then very famous Rolling Stones fled to France to record Exile on Main St, the speed of the process had deteriorated. It took four years – between 1968 and 1972 – to write and record the album, punctuated by bickering, drug use and re-recordings.
Now, more than half a century later, the accepted wisdom that producing a record must be a laborious process, plagued by indecision and constant revision, has been turned on its head.
