Jack White has spoken out about his thoughts on digital versus analogue recording, saying that digital formats have "proven to be anything but fail-safe" when it comes to the preservation of music.
Speaking to The Atlantic, White commented: "A lot of the digital formats in the last 20 years have proven to be anything but fail-safe. The tapes break or the information can't be retrieved."
After spending last weekend catching up with what seems like a veritable deluge of great new music, I had a yen for some old favourites this weekend, among them two albums by the cult singer-songwriter, Paul Siebel, Woodsmoke & Oranges and Jack-Knife Gypsy.
