Description

This set of 3" records was manufactured in 2005 in conjunction with the band's marketing of the Triple Inchophone, a customized, miniature record player that runs at a custom RPM and plays only 3" records.

While the White Stripes originally intended to purchase 1000 Triple Inchophones, they were soon told that any remaining stock had been destroyed, as warehouse space in Japan (where the players were made) is at a premium.

Luckily, 400 Inchophones turned up somewhere and the Stripes took hold of them to couple with the sets of 3" records they'd already begun the process of manufacturing. Those 400 players caused a wild uproar via cable news networks, merch table quarterbacks, excitable eBay flippers and the like.

All the while, there were still an additional 600 3" record sets sitting around with no Inchophones to be paired with. These 3" record sets are the remnants from those original 600 sets from 2005. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Each set contains:
Hotel Yorba
Fell in Love With a Girl
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
Seven Nation Army
The Hardest Button to Button
Blue Orchid
Top Special (EXCLUSIVE to the 3" format, never to be released ANYWHERE ELSE)

All records are one-sided and mono.

Generic Triple Inchophone players can oftentimes be found on eBay listed as "8-ban record player" (taken from Third Man Records Website)

I need to sell these really cool 3" records due to lack of finances.  It's a shame to see them go, but someone else could maybe enjoy them.  If you have any questions about these items, just ask.  I'm more than happy to answer.  Thanks for looking and good luck!
