“Fans of Ryan Adams and The Strokes have flooded NME.COM with emails and letters calling for Adams to release his Strokes cover album – and NME is backing the call by offering to release it.
Since Adams told NME.COM two weeks ago that he had recorded ‘Is This It’ on his four-track recorder, the response has been overwhelming. Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jnr added to the debate last week saying that he was dying to hear it.
NME.COM contacted Adams’ spokesperson and offered to release the album as a special one-off cover-mount on the NME newspaper. However, Adams management refused, claiming there was no album. While Adams could not be reached for further comment, it is known that he has vaults full of material, both solo and with his bands including the Pink Hearts and the ****ing Virgins, that the label are reluctant to release.
Nonetheless, fans are calling on the label to let them hear Adams version of ‘Is This It'”
