Watch Jack White attempt to play a vinyl record in space

T minus 33 1/3rpm.

Four years in the planning, Jack White’s hair-brained scheme to play a vinyl record in outer space is on the verge of becoming a reality.

Like Felix Baumgartner perched on the edge of his Stratos pod, we wait with baited breath. And like that epic base jump, Third Man have rigged a live stream to capture the whole cosmic playback, which is due to take place on 30th July at midday CT, (6PM BST).

You can watch the whole thing live with us below:

Update: The flight was a success! See more from Third Man below:
