THE STROKES – IS THIS IT

THE CAT CLUB (Classic Album Thursdays) presents a long playing vinyl record. IS THIS IT – THE STROKES with special guest Gordon Raphael. This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album. GORDON RAPHAEL produced not only The Strokes’ debut ep but also their first two albums including the seminal Is This It in 2001. His work with The Strokes, The Libertines and Regina Spektor has secured him a place in rock & roll history. His new and eagerly awaited memoir, The World Is Going To Love This: Up From The Basement With The Strokes was published in July 2022. In this candid and absorbing interview Gordon talks about his time with The Strokes and so much more. In the interviewer’s chair was Strokes enthusiast RICHARD SHORT.
