THE STRANGLERS
I think the Boss over at Floppy Boot Stomp and Voodoo Wagon must be psychic! For a while I had been contemplating posting the Stranglers first album Rattus Norvegicus (April 1977, UK album chart #4) as part of an occasional series in that I bought it when it came out. 1977 was an amazing year for music. Punk Rock's 1968! Floppy Boot Stomp have this set this morning. The notes indicate this line up was the last tour of the original line up Hugh Cornwell, Jean Jacques Burnel, Dave Greenfield and Jet Black (Brian Duffy) In his autobiography, Cornwell stated that he felt that by 1990 the Stranglers were a spent force creatively, and cited various examples of his increasingly acrimonious relationship with his fellow band-members, particularly Burnel. Oh and did I mention this is in FLAC format so it is AWESOME quality!

Sorry mate, been breezing through in the last fortnight without leaving comments.
ReplyDeleteYou have impeccable taste as usual.
First heard the Stranglers on John Peel radio show.
He played two tracks first, think it was Hanging Around and Goodbye Toulose.
"Grip" soon followed.
WHAT A GLORIOUS NOISE!
this looks a good gig, looking forward to listening to it.
Have seen them twice I think since Hugh left and they still shook the crowd!
R.I.P. Dave....
Hope to see Hugh solo later this year - loved his acoustic set recently.
Oh you are most welcome SF! Glorious Noise is right!
ReplyDeleteThis is a scorcher of a recording and I didn't quite believe the quality it is simply breathtaking!
Thanks for dropping by as ever
