Jack White’s Third Man Records has teamed up with Light in the Attic Records to release an adorable children’s record player and accompanying music compilation that’s free from “boy bands, princesses, or purple dinosaurs.”
Titled This Record Belongs To ______ , the kids’ compilation features songs by Nina Simone, Woody Guthrie, Harry Nilsson, Van Dyke Parks, Donovan, the Pointer Sisters, Vashti Bunyan, Shel Silverstein, Carole King, Kermit the Frog and more. One side consists of upbeat songs for “daytime dancin’” and the other is all “bedtime lullabies.”
It also comes with a full-colour storybook by acclaimed artist Jess Rotter that tells the tale of five forest friends who discover a mysterious disc in the woods, and have to solve the mystery of what it’s for.
The portable children’s turntable ($90 U.S.) comes complete with built-in speakers as well as a USB port that can be used to digitize vinyl records.
“We are pleased to announce that Light In The Attic & Third Man Records are joining forces to show impressionable, young minds the virtues of good music and vinyl records,” says a release.
“Inspired by the classic Little Golden Books Series and Sesame Street’s In Harmony albums, This Record Belongs To ______ stems from a love of music, reading, and a passion for teaching future generations the interactive experience of holding an album in your hands, putting needle to groove, and immersing yourself in the pages of a record’s sleeve as the music plays.”
Both are available for pre-order on the Third Man and Light in the Attic websites. They are scheduled for release Nov. 6.
