Updates: Surprise: White Stripes ''Vinyl Rights Management'' Fails, Album to Drop Early
Posted by Ren Bucholz on Thursday, February 20 @ 00:49:02 EST File Sharing
Jack and Meg White will be rocking your world slightly ahead of schedule. The White Stripes' new LP, Elephant, has made its web-debut a mere two-weeks after 500 vinyl-only advance copies hit reviewers and radio stations. The release data has been moved from April 8 to April 1, but the word on the street (at least Pitchfork's street) is:

"(T)hings still look pretty good for sales of Elephant-- message boards are already blowing up with fans heralding the record as the Stripes' best yet."

Promising as this may sound, we all know how pre-release exposure to P2P nets made a pauper of Eminem.
