Third Man Records Liquid Filled Sixteen Saltines Record - RSD 2012 video free download

Here's my liquid-filled Sixteen Saltines record from Third Man Records being played for the first time. Thanks to the Bens & staff for their ingenuity and hospitality and the URP team who worked overtime to get as many of these badass records into our grubby little hands. Shout outs to Ed, Scott, Gary, Larry, Lisa and Glen for making this one to remember. xoxo

If you have a liquid-filled record of your own read on.

If you haven't already figured it out, this baby is FRA-GILE. Just read TMR's warning label - haha! Several records were leaking at the POS and mine leaked as soon as I took it out of the sleeve. I highly recommend taking measures to protect and preserve your record. To prepare the record for transport a quick thinking friend used Krazy Glue - said to bond vinyl - to put several thin layers in the exposed post hole edge & replug the fluid injection whole that had stuck to the sleeve when I removed the record (the source of my leak.) Had the record packed by Fedex and checked it as baggage. TSA opened and inspected it and the record arrived intact and DRY.

TMR 12" post holes can be tight. Whatever you do DON'T force this onto the turntable or torque it in any way. I stacked several slip mats onto the player until the record sat just enough to be centered.

In the future I intend to seal the outside edge, check the plug regularly, store it upright, and take a photo digital photo to document the color of the liquid (water and food coloring) in case it ever needs to be filled again.

If you have any suggestions, stories, or expertise in vinyl materials, please post here.

Cheers!!
