New Raconteurs! (Next Week!?)

[ROC]

The word going from all the internet blogs is that Jack White is stopping the worry of leaks and the matter by releasing the latest release from his rock project The Raconteurs. And here is a bit from the press release:

"The album was mastered and completed in the first week of March. It was then taken immediately to a vinyl pressing plant. Then to a CD pressing plant. Then preparations to sell it digitally began. March 25th became the soonest date to have it available in EVERY FORMAT AT ONCE. The band have done no interviews or advertisements for this record before this announcement. The purpose: to get the album to the fans as soon as possible and as we promised. We wanted to get this record to fans, the press, radio, etc., all at the EXACT SAME TIME so that no one has an upper hand on anyone else regarding it’s availability, reception or perception."

[GA!]

As long as this new album is actually good, then hooray!
