The White Stripes NME 7"
-
Artist:
So this morning sees the release of the White Stripes 7" that comes free with the latest issue of the NME.This is the only reason to buy the publication, which has now shrunk to 75 pages prompting "when I was a lad" type thoughts from me. Anyway the actual gatefold 7" is a nice item, red vinyl and an etched picture on the B-side. Frankly the Stripes should have stuck a song on the B-side, I'm s

Fake CD Sleeves
Heard the new Arctic Monkey's album and really like the production and sound route they've taken. However I really dislike these cardboard CD style packages the album comes in.

I'd still rather have the standard CD box or a piece of
