Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Released 2006Alternative & Indie
Start here
A whip-smart, fast-selling debut of witty Sheffield character sketches and taut guitars. Sharp and vital. A defining 2000s British record. Released in 2006, it's an early landmark for Arctic Monkeys.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
