In an effort to expand his vinyl empire by way of early recruitment, Jack White‘s Third Man Records is teaming up with Light in the Attic to release a kid’s compilation adorably titled This Record Belongs To ________. The album features contributions by Vashti Bunyan, Harry Nilsson, Nina Simone, Woody Guthrie, Jerry Garcia, Shel Silverstein, and Kermit the Frog himself.
The compilation, which comes out November 6, comes with an original full-color storybook. This Record will also be available as a bundle along with a portable, lightweight record player.
According to a press release, the storybook—illustrated by Jess Rotter—”tells the tale of five forest pals who find a mysterious object—a round, flat disc that they proceed to investigate. The animal friends finally solve the mystery and learn how to play a record and let their bodies move to the groove (within the grooves).”
To unlock the secret powers of the mysterious round object, you’ll have to get a copy for yourself. Head here to preorder the album, which is available as CD, standard LP, or “Gender Equality” split blue and pink LP.
