Blunderbuss vinyl best-seller of 2012
THE NEWLY CROWNED KING OF 33 1/3: The vinyl version of Jack White’s Blunderbuss sold 33k in 2012, making it not only the bestselling vinyl album of last year but also the bestselling non-catalog vinyl LP since 2008, when SoundScan began tracking charts for new vinyl album sales again. The Third Man/Columbia release bested the ultimate vinyl catalog title, The Beatles' Abbey Road, which had been #1 for the last three years. This tidbit, which was posted yesterday on thirdmanrecords.com, is a note of particular pride for White, who’s a passionate analog advocate. But you knew that. (1/3a)
