To celebrate their 10th birthday, Xfm are marking the occasion with a series of 10 hour long documentaries about 10 of the most influential albums during it’s time and naturally, they had to start with the story of  Arctic Monkeys' 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'.
So much has been said about the album before of course, and you might know some of the tales already if you’re a hardcore fan. But there’s nothing like hearing it straight from the Monkeys’ mouths in their own endearingly honest way talking about the real life stories, characters and places that became the soundscape for the fastest selling debut album in UK chart history.
There’s also a plethora of personal and colourful anecdotes from the likes of the Jim Abbiss, the album’s producer, James Ford from Simian Mobile Disco (Arctic Monkey’s former - and current - producer) and John McClure from Reverend & The Makers, a close friend of the band, and fellow Sheffield musician and friend Richard Hawley.
The documentary was actually aired on Sunday but don’t despair, you can still hear it at Xfm for another week or you can download the Podcast completely free!
