SOUTH Devon Arctic Monkey fans can get their new single Crying Lightning through Oxfam shops in Torquay, Teignmouth and Newton Abbot.
The charity's network of 700 shops are selling the much- anticipated single with proceeds going to help Oxfam's life-saving work around the world.
It is the first single from new album Humbug and features a cover of the Nick Cave classic Red Right Hand as a B-side.
It goes on sale in all three shops on Monday and marks the first time Oxfam shops have sold a new release single for 25 years.
It will cost £2.99, and each single will come with a download code allowing fans to get an MP3 version of the song for free.
All customers are also being encouraged to take something of value to donate to the store.
Donna Gubbins, shop manager in Torquay's Oxfam in St Marychurch, said: "Music fans from all over Torbay love to dig through our collection of donated music to find some hidden treasures, and they'll be delighted that they can now pick up something as exciting and exclusive as this from their local Oxfam shop.
"Even better, every copy sold — and every record donated to the shop — will help us raise money to fight poverty around the world."
