Rock and Roll Spins Albion College’s Marilyn Crandell Schleg Memorial Lecture

Drummer, label founder and White Stripes archivist Ben Blackwell recounts “I Had No Idea What I Was Doing: Tales of Rock and Roll Archiving in the Modern Era”, at the Marilyn Crandell Schleg Memorial Lecture on Thursday, October 10 at 7p.m. in Bobbitt Visual Arts Center.

Blackwell is the co-founder and co-owner of Third Man Records along with his uncle, Jack White. He will share how Third Man Records is preserving music that’s no longer available and re-releasing it on vinyl.
