US pressing of the ace debut album from the uber-cool NYC indie band. This is the very first issue featuring 'New York City Cops'; subsequent pressings had the track removed out of respect for cops who were killed in the twin towers attack - the same day the album was released! Features different artwork as the leather glove / bottom sleeve was considered to risqué for sensitive Americans! In gatefold sleeve with nice big Strokes logo window sticker.
