One of the very first compilations that I put together was by The Arctic Monkeys, just after their debut album came out in 2005. I'd been following them for quite a while before that, and they used to post demos on Limewire (remember that?) which I downloaded and kept. When the album finally dropped I realised that a lot of these early songs weren't on it, and those that were sounded very different, so I decided to burn these demos to a disc. I made a cover for it, and it's sat on the shelf now for 13 years, so I think it's time that I shared it.
