Excellent question, David. The supreme genius to which I refer is in the idea of only selling the most exquisite colored vinyl to people who make the effort to trek out to the concerts themselves. In 2010, you can order practically anything you want online from an unlocked iPhone to a Russian bride — but you won’t be able to order these special albums from them!
I think Jack is all about the music and getting it out to people — yet in an age when entire albums are downloaded in 10 minutes over a high speed connection, it’s nice to see some music that you can only treasure in a blue and black format.

Is Jack White more about music or marketing? His live and recorded musical style seems to prefer the scratchy sound of early Edison wax recordings and I don’t understand why that sheen of standoffishness is part of his musical want.
Why is this “supreme genius?”
