Strokes of Bad Luck: US Release RECALLED
September 21, 2001
Some may call them the most talked-about garage rock band in history. Others seem to call them "THE GREATEST AMERICAN BAND OF OUR GENERATION." (Thank you, UK press.) Whatever your take on 'em is, THE STROKES have the most hotly anticipated debut album of the fall... and now it's tracklisting is being changed in the wake of the tragedy at the World Trade Center. The gruff anthem "New York City Cops" has been pulled from all U.S. copies due to its anti-police sentiment. The track will be replaced with a brand new song, "When It Started." Some promos are already circulating with the original tracklisting, so collectors need to hit the streets before they're all gone.
