Sheffield toe tappers and head boppers The Arctic Monkeys released their single 'Crying Lightning' on 7" vinyl through Oxfam's chain of charity shops across the UK. As you would expect all proceeds went towards funding the charity's numerous projects around the world.
The vinyl sold for £2.99 and included a code to download the MP3 version of the release which includes a cover of Nick Cave's 'Red Right Hand'.
As well as giving the profits to the charity, the band and record label Domino encouraged fans to bring in old records, clothing and other unwanted goods when they pick up their copies of the single to further raise funds.
