The Strokes’ best songs, from their early hits to rarer fan favorites, come together in a new box set, released today. “The Singles — Volume” 01 is available now in digital and vinyl configuratons.
The collection includes ten singles from their first three albums “Is This It” (2001), “Room on Fire” (2003) and “First Impressions of Earth” (2006), in addition to rare B-sides from the original single releases.
Not only are all ten singles pressed on a 7-inch vinyl with the original release’s artwork replicated in the packaging, but the collectors set also includes HD versions of the original music videos for all ten A-sides including “Hard to Explain,” “Last Nite,” “Reptilia,” “Juicebox” and “Heart in a Cage.” Read More: The Best Vinyl to Buy This Year It’s an eclectic mix of songs that won’t be wasted on any true Strokes fans, who will appreciate the B-side’s oddballs — like their funk collaboration with Josh Homme and Eddie Vedder on “Mercy Mercy Me” — as much as their chart-topping hits.
