Inject some early-2000s New York indie rock energy into your collection with this rare original UK first pressing of The Strokes - "Someday". Released in 2002 via the legendary Rough Trade label under the catalogue number RTRADES063, this specific 7-inch release stands out as a highly collectable piece of modern garage rock history, pressed on vibrant transparent yellow vinyl.

This beautifully designed edition is presented in its original glossy card picture sleeve, offering a premium feel that matches the record's landmark status. The stamped matrix numbers in the runout grooves read cleanly as RTRADES 063 A on Side A and RTRADES 063 B on the reverse, confirming its authentic initial pressing heritage. The breezy, melodic A-side "Someday" remains one of the defining anthems of the post-punk revival era. Turn the record over to Side B to find a fantastic bonus for fans: rare, intimate home recording versions of both "Alone Together" and the iconic title track "Is This It".

We have graded this complete package in Excellent / Excellent (EX/EX) condition. The heavy card picture sleeve is remarkably clean and sharp, showing almost no signs of shelf wear or age. The striking yellow translucent vinyl is equally pristine, retaining its brilliant glass-like shine with no noticeable handling marks. It plays through beautifully, delivering a crisp, dynamic audio profile that captures the raw, driving guitar hooks and Julian Casablancas's distinctive vocals perfectly.

As a highly sought-after coloured vinyl variant from the peak of the indie rock explosion, clean UK first presses of this Rough Trade single are increasingly difficult to track down. Secure this essential slice of turn-of-the-century rock history for your turntable today.
