how to get restock alerts for Arctic Monkeys
Arctic Monkeys have one of the most heavily collected catalogues in British guitar music, and the original pressings have long since left retail. What is left is repressings and anniversary variants, which arrive quietly and sell through on collector demand alone.
The independent record shops matter as much as the artist store here. Shop-exclusive colourways and signed editions go to shops like Banquet Records, and the Record Store Day allocations never touch the official store at all.
Developed for mobile:
where the exclusives actually live
Catalogue repressings
Unannounced returns of older albums, which last hours instead of minutes.
Shop exclusives
Colourways allocated to individual independent shops, which are the only place they ever appear.
Record Store Day titles
Sold through RSD stockists, with leftovers appearing online in the weeks afterwards.
artist store and record shops

how to catch a shop exclusive
Add the independent shops
Shop exclusives and signed editions go there, not to the artist store. For this band the shops are the main event.
Use the band name, not album titles
Repressings span the whole catalogue and are unannounced, so a broad keyword catches more than a specific one.
Watch after Record Store Day
Unsold RSD allocations go online in the following weeks, which is the calmest way to get one.
