Although it was first announced two years ago, Jack White‘s ever-adventurous record label Third Man has finally shared the full details of the vinyl release for Jay Z‘s 2013 album Magna Carta Holy Grail.

The album will be released as eight 7″ records contained in a clothbound binder that features scratch-off pages and mirror panels, which will allow fans to read encrypted lyrics. Looks like Jack White finally got around to reading The Da Vinci Code.

Check out the trailer below to get a glimpse of the set.

The packaging—which was designed by Brian Roettinger, who also did Magna Carta‘s original cover art—plays on “the theme of redacted government documents,” according to a press release. The box set will be limited to one-thousand copies, and will be available on March 20.

No word yet on whether or not the package will include a free Samsung phone.
