I know this isn't exactly breaking news since it's a year old but...The White Stripes were selling the "Triple Inchopone" on some dates oftheir '05 Fall tour. The package came with the portable called the "Triple Inchophone",a turntable that plays 3" vinyl, and a bunch of their 7"'s repressed in that format, includingone tune that will only be available on 3". Are these one of a kind players?Will the 3" catch on?Only time will tell.White Stripes, love'em or hate'em (the RULE in my opinion) you gottagive'em props for the best merch EVAR!

Cool idea, I presume they originally would have been expensive, putting a package like that together would cost a shitload.
he seems like a pretty cool guy if you ask me.
A Message from Mr. White
I wanna say it was like a hundred bucks. I know a couple broke 'opportunists' that sold one on ebay and they definitely didn't get that much for it but this was a while back... I knew the players were not exclusive to the Stripes, but if you look at that link above it actually says the company destroyed the last 3000 of them due to lack of interest, which is why this product became stupid limited to begin with
That part seemed weird, wouldn't you find someone to buy them on the cheap
rather than destroying them? WTF?
Well, this site has a far greater concentration of vinyl obsessives than you'll find almost anywhere... how many of us do you think own three-inch records?!
Obviously very few. But how many people bought those stupid ass "Vinyl Killer"?
Any how many people actually use them?
Besides the random jack-ass at record shows.
I've seen sellers at record shows with a "Vinyl Killer" running
as a conversation piece. The stupidity overheard in the vicinity
boggles the mind.
