Plus, **bonus linkage**! **Ambassador Jack White** Jack White has been appointed [2013 Ambassador](http://thirdmanrecords.com/news/view/jack-white-record-store-day-2013-ambassador?ref=hypebot.com) for [Record Store Day](http://www.recordstoreday.com/NewsItem/3405?ref=hypebot.com): **Tour United Record Pressing with Jack White** "Let's wake each other up." And go shopping! April 20th at your local record store. **Crowdfund Out-of-Press Vinyl with Beat Delete** [Ninja Tune](http://ninjatune.net/?ref=hypebot.com) recently [organized multiple labels](http://www.clashmusic.com/news/ninja-tune-help-launch-beat-delete?ref=hypebot.com) to launch [Beat Delete](http://www.beatdelete.com/?ref=hypebot.com), a crowdsourcing platform to fund the reisse of out-of-press albums and singles on vinyl. An unnamed "employee at Ninja Tune" came up with this awesome idea in the wake of the London Riots in which a warehouse housing vinyl burned destroying the stock of a wide range of vinyl releases. And they're not going to name the guy? **We Buy White Albums** **Side One of 100 White Albums Digitized & Layered** "[We Buy White Albums](http://www.recessart.org/activities/6753?ref=hypebot.com)" is an art exhibition by Rutherford Chang running through March 9th in NYC: "Pursuing an interest in exhaustive cataloguing, Chang has collected over 650 first-pressings of the Beatles' White Album. He considers the serialized first-press, an edition running in excess of 3 million, to be the ultimate collector’s item, and aims to amass as many copies as possible. Over the course of his Session, Chang will create an archive, listening library, and anti-store to house and grow his collection of the Beatles’ iconic record." "Chang will create a record store that stocks only White Albums. But rather than selling the albums, he will buy more from anyone willing to part with an original pressing in any condition." **Interview & Photos:** [Rutherford Chang](http://www.dustandgrooves.com/rutherford-chang-we-buy-white-albums/?ref=hypebot.com) **What, No Lawsuit?** Is Amoeba Music's [Vinyl Vaults](http://www.amoeba.com/music/vinyl-vaults/?ref=hypebot.com) a [Copyright Time Bomb](http://boingboing.net/2013/02/04/vinyl-vault-lights-fuse-on-cop.html?ref=hypebot.com)? **My Beautiful Preciousssss:** [Feb. 3 – Record(s) Of The Week](http://piratespress.com/rotw/?p=683&ref=hypebot.com) **Likely Link Sources:** [@hifidelics](https://twitter.com/hifidelics?ref=hypebot.com) \~ [@Buzzsonic](https://twitter.com/buzzsonic?ref=hypebot.com) **More:** - [2012 Top 10 Selling Vinyl Albums, Vinyl Sales Rise In The U.S. And UK](https://www.hypebot.com/2012-top-10-selling-vinyl-albums-in-the-us-and-uk-as-sales-rise/) - [Vinyl News: David Bowie Singles, Third Man Blues Reissues, Remembering HMV, Ice Record](https://www.hypebot.com/vinyl-news-david-bowie-singles-third-man-blues-reissues-remembering-hmv-ice-record/) - [Vinyl News: 3D Printed Record, Turnplay Vinyl iPad App, Blue Note Reproductions](https://www.hypebot.com/vinyl-news-3d-printed-record-turnplay-vinyl-ipad-app-blue-note-reproductions/) *Hypebot Senior Contributor Clyde Smith ([Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/fluxresearch?ref=hypebot.com)/[App.net](https://alpha.app.net/clydesmith?ref=hypebot.com)) also blogs at [All World Dance: Videos](http://www.allworlddance.com/?ref=hypebot.com) and maintains [Music Biz Blogs](http://www.musicbizblogs.com/?ref=hypebot.com).
