Win! Arctic Monkeys' back catalogue on vinyl

We're giving five lucky readers the chance to bag the band's entire back catalogue on vinyl

To celebrate our Arctic Monkeys special edition magazine we’ve teamed up with Domino to bring five lucky readers the chance to bag the band’s entire back catalogue on vinyl.

Arctic Monkeys are Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O’Malley and Matt Helders. Formed in High Green, Sheffield in 2002, the band have released six albums to date. When Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino went to Number One in May, the Monkeys made history as the first independent label band with six consecutive chart-topping albums in the UK.

If you can’t find a vendor near you, you can pick up your copy of the Arctic Monkeys special souvenir edition from The Big Issue Shop

The group’s debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006), released when the band were barely out of their teens, became the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history on its release in 2006 and was instantly hailed as a modern classic, winning the Mercury Music Prize.

The subsequent releases of Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009), Suck it and See (2011) and AM (2013) saw the band experiment with styles as disparate as R&B, desert rock and  Sabbath-influenced heavy metal, showcasing their ever-evolving approach.
