SUCH a great album I think the "Haves" are severely bloated because they unfortunately made the reissue matrix number so similar.

is one of the most exciting and energetic debut albums to spring from New York’s long dormant club scene. Mine was added to my collection over 6 years ago when I first started really using discogs to keep track of my collection. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres. The album was released during the Summer of 2001 on different dates in different territories to coincide with or capitalise on live performances: Australia (July 30, 2001), Japan (August 22), UK (August 27). Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering The Strokes for the first time, this vinyl edition is a true testament to the band's talent and a reminder of why this album remains a classic in the rock genre.

Clocking in at 36 minutes, Is This It packs its perfect length with stellar songs that draw inspiration from all over the map. Holding the record in your hands, you can immediately sense the craftsmanship and love put into this release. One, it is the ONLY pressing that has the same tracklist as the CD version that came out in 2001, which is how I got to know and fell in love with this album.Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since. CRX, Different Strokes, Julian Casablancas, Little Joy, Nickel Eye, Regina Spektor, Summer Moon, The Voidz. From the opening track "Is This It," the warm, rich sound of the vinyl transports you back in time, as if you were sitting in the studio alongside the band during the recording process. With their catchy melodies, raw energy, and stylish image, The Strokes became a leading force in the indie rock scene of the early 2000s. The model (his girlfriend at the time) agreed to pose impromptu in the black leather glove after emerging one morning from the shower.

Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The strokes" have been touted as "the next best thing" and hailed as "The saviours of rock and roll".When he saw the results — "I knew it was the perfect shot - simple, straightforward, graphic and just so sexy. Is this it", is one of those rare musical treats that remains consistently brilliant from start to finish, with its catchy rythyms and chorus lines and tremendous use of the bass guitar, best captured in the albums two stand out tracks (In my opinion anyway) "Barely legal" and "Hard to explain".

Three singles were released from the album: 'Hard to Explain'/'New York City Cops', 'Last Nite', and 'Someday'. They didn't press more US vinyl copies for several years (there were just the original ~5,000 floating around), but when they did start re-pressing vinyl copies years later, they kept "New York City Cops" and used the same catalog number/bar code as the 2001 vinyl version. United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, India, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Israel, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Vietnam. The band consists of lead vocalist Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. All image and audio content is used by permission of the copyright holders or their agents, and/or according to fair dealing as per the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

It has the big hit Last Nite which of course most people will have heard but there simple isn't a dull moment on this album. Release Date: 12th January Thank you Strokes for saving us from Nu Metal and bland Post-Britpop indie. While frontman Julian Casablancas (son of elite models founder john) drawls like Lou Reed through a busted intercom, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr do Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd proud as their sinewy chords intertwine to great effect on the angular The Modern Age and equally neurotic Alone, Together.
