As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan. No more heroes (1977) fue su segundo LP, el cual incluía el famoso y sensacional tema homónimo, calcado el riff posteriormente por Elastica en su tema "Waking up", lo que les provocó un pleito por plagio. Otro single del disco era "Something better change".Como cara b de este tema, y no incluido en este disco, encontrábamos "Straighten Out", una fenomenal canción, incluso mejor que la cara a. Following the departure of Cornwell, CBS-Sony dropped the Stranglers from their roster. The remaining members recruited John Ellis, who had had a long-standing association with the band. He had opened for them in the 1970s as a member of The Vibrators, filled in for Cornwell during his time in prison for drug possession in 1980, worked with Burnel and Greenfield in their side-project Purple Helmets, and been added to the Stranglers' line-up as a touring guitarist a short time before Cornwell's departure. Burnel and Ellis briefly took over vocal duties (for one television appearance on The Word) before enlisting Paul Roberts, who sang on most songs live, even those originally sung by Burnel. Laurie also made suggestions to the band about their contributions, for example,that Dave should dust off his Hammond for certain songs. Dave recalls: ‘I don’t remember it being his suggestion but I’ve always enjoyed playing the Hammond! It is one of my favourite keyboards’. JJ’s basswas dropped down in the mix, assuming a more conventional position in the sound which the bassist agreed to: ‘I was quite happy to do that at the time, althoughI laterstarted to realise that actually my bass was an integral part of the Stranglers’ sound and without it we were less distinctive’. Chris Twomey: "You Can Keep Your Brussels & Amsterdam." In: Strangled fanzine, vol. 2, no. 19, November 1984, p. 12

The touring party headed across Europe for a huge tourto support the album and the response was particularly encouraging in territories like France & Germany where they continued to build on the success of Feline.However, the signs of some tensions between Hugh and JJ started to show during the Euro gigs, JJ explains: ‘We were starting to get a bit confrontational with each other. We’d always been competitive which had been helpful to the band but, when things become antagonistic or confrontational, then something’s going to break at some point’. Pero la verdadera naturaleza de los de Guilford es punk. La transgresión, las letras descarnadas y crudas y su actitud en contra de lo políticamente correcto desde el humor más ácido les sitúan en esa órbita. Las acusaciones de misoginia, por ejemplo, fueron una constante gracias a algunas letras y la presencia de bailarinas en topless en algunos conciertos. Todo era pura provocación -inteligente- que al pasar de los años parece casi inherente a la época. Aural Sculpture is the eighth studio album by the Stranglers, released in November 1984 by Epic Records. It was also the name given to a one-sided 7-inch single given free with a limited number of copies of their Feline album in 1983. The "Aural Sculpture Manifesto" on the 7" single was played before the Stranglers appeared on stage during concerts during both the 1983 "Feline" tour and the 1985 "Aural Sculpture" tour. [7] [8] The Stranglers continued their resurgence in 2010 starting with an extensive UK tour, including a sold-out return to the Hammersmith Apollo in March, their first visit there since 1987. They were supported on the 16-date UK tour by Max Raptor. [52] A typical melodic opening that the Stranglers are famous for with organ sounding very much like one would hear in a Church . In promoting Spain in every way, the albums lyrics are becoming more positive. There is an interesting interlude with a Spanish woman speaking Spanish about Spain at a guess. In parts of the song the band shout "Spain" in old football style chant always in the presence is Dave Greenfields organ throughout the song. I know Hugh likes Morrocco maybe there are places familiar in Spain that remind him of Morrocco and hence the more positive lyrics.

Dave Greenfield 1949 - 2020

Keyboard player Dave Greenfield died on 3 May 2020 after contracting COVID-19 while receiving treatment for a heart ailment. [7] The remaining band members completed a new album recorded with Greenfield, Dark Matters, and confirmed that they would proceed with their "Final Full UK Tour", initially announced in January 2020, in his honour.

One can mistake the lyrics are about horse racing but the former is an analogy for the effects of taking cocaine. In 1984 Hugh was taking a lot of speed type drugs along with heroin. The reference to saddling up and racing into town is Hugh's way of describing the feeling cocaine has on his being. These gigs will be more than three hours long, and mainly in seated venues, with an interval… or rather a comfort break – a lot of our fans have been with us since 1974.
