Jack White: No Name review | Album of the week

Handed out to customers at his record shop in an unmarked sleeve, White’s latest has been bootlegged online. Every one of his fans needs to track down this uncut gem

Customers at Jack White’s Third Man Records shops in London, Nashville and Detroit received a free gift with their purchases on Friday – a white-label vinyl album with a generic sleeve, titled “no name”. As yet, little information has surfaced about the album, but the Third Man Instagram account instructed owners to “Rip it”, and a number have duly distributed it across the internet so fans can hear this elusive music after only a little net-based detective work. No Name will please both extremes of Jack White fandom: the diehard completists get another super-rare “holy grail” for their Discogs wantlists, while the fans who simply dig the music get 13 new songs they don’t even need to subscribe to streaming services to hear.
