The Strokes confirm the release of The Singles – Volume 01, a box set collecting the group’s electrifying early singles set for release on RCA Records/Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment.Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.

Listening to songs like “12:51,” “Reptilia,” “The End Has No End” and “You Only Live Once,” they truly sound like bottled moments in time of a band whose raucous and carefree energy burst through unabashedly, all in an era when escapism within the genre was stifled. Videos for all 10 A-sides, including “Hard to Explain,” “Last Nite,” “Reptilia,” “Juicebox” and “Heart in a Cage,” are now available in high definition. For long-time fans, there are few surprises on “Volume 01.” Solitary moments like the home recordings for “Alone Together” and “Is This It”— which were originally released as B-sides for the single “Someday”— are given time to shine as they mark the end of the band’s debut era. Each single has a white, die-cut inner sleeve. No times are given for the singles: "The Modern Age,""The End Has No End," and "Juicebox." Printed time for Mercy Mercy Me is 2:37 on sleeve and 2:38 on label. Heart in a Cage / I'll Try Anything Once ('You Only Live Once' Demo) from First Impressions Of Earth

With no current plans for a “Volume 02,” fans and newcomers will be more than satisfied with the offerings on “Volume 01,” especially the forgotten B-sides like the band’s collaboration with Regina Spektor on “Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men” and the live 2003 cover of The Clash’s “Clampdown.” The Strokes under exclusive license to RCA Records, a Division of Sony Music Entertainment.
