If you're feeling down because there's been no AM activity for a while, hopefully this will cheer you up. Below are download links to full instrumental versions of three albums: Favourite Worst Nightmare, Suck It And See and AM. These are genuine Arctic Monkeys recordings (not karaoke covers). Record labels often make instrumental mixes to be be used by, say, radio stations underneath talk segments. They're not stem files, they're official mixes which never got widely distributed. (This is a throwaway account. I'm not doing this for karma; I'm a fan who likes to share.) I have no instrumental versions of WPSIA or Humbug, sorry.
Also, Teddy Picker is missing from FWN. I don't know whether they ever did instrumental mixes for those. Onto the files!. FWN MP3 (77 MB):. SIAS MP3 (86 MB):. AM MP3 (91 MB): Edit: removed flac files due to quality issues. The mp3s are 320 kbps variable bit rate.
Unfortunately the original.wav files had some clipping, so there was no point in having flac files - the mp3s are as good as these can be. I understand that some people might be wary of downloading files from unknown sources. I can only assure you that these are legit and virus-free. All song tags should be correct but please forgive any misspellings, wrong orders etc. would you consider putting this on the sidebar? Download — enjoy — share!
Edit: changed mp3 links to Zippyshare ones which shouldn't expire. Can you not host them elsewhere? I wanted a quick and easy anonymous filesharing service, rather than one which required a login and email address. I don't really trust sites like Mega because they're constantly being targeted by the authorities. I don't want my IP address or email address to end up on a watch list.
That's why I suggested people reshare them on other sites if they're comfortable doing so (at which point it stops being my problem). Also, I don't have a lot more time to spend dealing with this - I've converted wav files to FLAC and MP3, sorted out all the tags, and uploaded and shared the files. Now other people can share them too. Hope you understand.
