B,

I really really hope that these vinyls will arrive soon in Angers just before the concert so you can bring it along with you, and who knows, you can manage to get any of the Arctic Monkeys to give their signature, or whatever they would, on these records as long as not breaking it.

I don’t think these vinyls would make it on time, though. They usually take some time to process the delivery, so it would take about four or five days at least for these records to reach Angers in France from Rotterdam in Holland.

However things might turned out, accept these as your birthday present. These three vinyls are rather particular in a way that all three of them are printed and released in UK by the original label: Domino. They are not printed in France, or Italy, or Singapore, by some licensed record re-manufacturing plants. So, you should check it out by the time they arrive in Angers. 180 grams vinyl LP are thicker and stronger and heavier vinyl than the standard one. LP = long play is the common 12inch record size that you have already known. 10inch is smaller in size which in this case contains just 5 tracks. 7inch records size is what people called as single, you have seen it as well, but in this special case Matador is a single made of white vinyl instead of the usual black vinyl. Check by the time it arrive.

1. Whatever People Say I Am That’s What I’m Not (Domino WIGLP162), released in the UK by the label Domino in 2006. It’s a 180 grams vinyl of 12-track LP in custom stickered picture sleeve with inner sleeve;

2. Who The Fuck Are The Arctic Monkeys (Domino RUG226), released in the UK by the label Domino in 2006. It’s a 5-track 10inch EP in custom picture sleeve, which contains the tracks: The View From The Afternoon, Cigarette Smoker Fiona, Despair In The Departure Lounge, No Buses, and Who The Fuck Are The Arctic Monkeys;

3. Matador (Domino RUG258), released in the UK by the label Domino in 2007. It’s a white vinyl of 2-track 7inch Single in custom spot varnished die-cut sleeve wih sticker.

Enjoy the music,
Live for the best years of your life.

The shock I felt, involving : 1) hearing indistinct sounds of Hey Jude’s ending “naaaa na na nana nanaaa” 2) “fuck I will look like depressed fat fangirl when I approach them to ask autographs” 3) cold hands 4) can’t accept that i was born asian 5) I. WANT. MY. OWN. PORTABLE. PHONOGRAPH. 5) excited 6) feel like showing off 7) my dad is a perfect human being 8) everyone but us is a loser 9) feeling afraid, what if arctic monkeys disappoint me 10) Alexa Chung is so skinny i want to be like her
