Last night I scored this colored vinyl for about $5. This morning when I went to pay for it, Ebay had these items that others were watching, one of them was this "triple decker vinyl". Hmm...that sounded interesting and the record looked really cool. So I clicked on the link and it was for an auction of this record by the group The Dead Weather. I read the description and really couldn't get the gist of what the seller was getting at, so I clicked on the youtube link and all became clear!
Basically, it's a 7" single sandwiched in between a 12" single! Yeah, totally cool! You can play the 12" - side a and side b - but to get to the 7", you have to use a knife to separate the 12" and then pull the 7" out which you can then play. If you don't separate the 12", then you can't play the 7". This is what I like about vinyl that you just can do with CDs. Sure, there have been shaped CDs and CDs with clear outer edges, but with vinyl you can do all sorts of colors, shapes and now this triple decker 12"! It would be really cool if Duran did something like this.

Yes, what a great idea - that's really a cool item but if Duran would do - I could probably not buy it - it would be too expensive.

I hope they don't. It WOULD be too expensive. It is ridiculous what they have been charging lately.

Oh, and knowing them, the 7" would be the ONLY place you can get some exclusive song, and since I would never pry the pieces apart, I will never hear it. f___ that. And while i am on it, f___ them for screwing us on the 2 disc vinyl and not including ANY bonus tracks.

i think thats a bit unfair, at the price charged for the vinyl you are getting the album no more - fair enough deal to me. Everyone who paid £250 for the box set deserves some exclusivity - id be furious if bonus tracks later came out on the £13 version and I'd paid £250 for it.
This is not to say I agree with what the band have done, but you cannot expect the world for £13.
