## Caption

John Kennedy turns back the clock to January 2006, when he was joined by Alex Turner and Matt Helders to discuss their debut - which went on to become the fastest selling British debut album in history.

A special archive X-Posure Album Playback from January 2006, which saw John Kennedy sit down with Alex Turner and Matt Helders to discuss their first album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - which went on to become the fastest selling debut album ever British music history.

The duo discuss the genesis of the Monkeys, the writing of their earliest songs and how their first outing is essentially a concept album about nights out in Sheffield. Along the way, they touch on the album's name, the cover art, the "crap" lyrics of I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and how the guy who rented them their practice room gave them the title for When The Sun Goes Down.
