12:51/ The Way It Is

This is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is one of the catchiest rock tunes of the new milennium, and though from 2003 it remains one of the Strokes most popular tracks, regularly topping the iTunes chart for the Strokes. As with their other excellent vinyl releases, this one comes with a brilliant picture sleeve (including a great band photo on the back) and a custom label. This U.S. issue has a small hole, but plays at 45 rpm. The flip side is a 1:16 "home demo" of "The Way It Is."
