Place aux Stranglers ! Les rois du cynisme, de l'humour noir et auteurs de quelques albums atypiques, engagés et assez uniques dans leur genre. Punk, rock, pop ??? On s'en fout !
Voici un live de la période que je préfére, celle des albums The Raven, La Folie, The Meninblack... Bien avant que les synthés cheaps et le set de batterie électronique ne fassent des ravages en ces années 80. Même si Féline et Aural Sculpture s'écoutent encore confortablement et sans honte sous la couette.

Complementary but maybe slightly conflicting information from another page at the same site, http://www.xulucomics.com/Boot.html:
"Live Hammersmith (CD: BBC - [intended for] FM Broadcast, 60 min.) LIVE: Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK - February 8, 1982
Down In The Sewer / Just Like Nothing On Earth / Second Coming / Non Stop / The Man They Love To Hate / Who Wants The World? /
Golden Brown / How To Find True Love And Happiness In The Present Day / Duchess / Let Me Introduce You To The Family / Tramp / The
Raven / Genetix".
NB 1: this CD is mostly likely sourced from a leak of the BBC transcription disc mentioned above rather than from
any FM broadcast.
NB 2: 1982.02.08 Hammersmith Odeon was the last night of the UK La Folie tour which had run since 1981.11.11. The Stranglers briefly
interrupted the tour on 1982.01.24 to record a Nighttracks Radio One Session, released as a 12" by Strange Fruit.
The attached artwork, which strongly resembles official internal BBC covers, indicates Hammersmith Odeon 1981; the only date possible, according to http://www.xulucomics.com/Live.html, is during the Meninblack tour - 1981.02.15 Hammersmith
Odeon, UK, which is not reported to have been recorded.
The only way to resolve the mystery - Feb '81 or '82? - is to look at the set-lists of other '81 gigs : two months "later", the US
tour date on 1981.04.11 in Emerald City, Cherry Hill, NJ includes a B&W/Raven/Meninblack setlist of Threatened, Toiler on the Sea,
Meninblack, Shah Shah A Go Go, Hallow To Our Men, Tank and Nuclear Device, none of which figure on the Hammersmith Odeon download.
The Hammersmith Odeon download however includes later tracks such as Golden Brown, How To Find True Love And Happiness In The Present
Day, Duchess, Let Me Introduce You To The Family and Tramp, none of which are on the April '81 New Jersey gig.
The only conclusion can be that this is indeed a later gig - 1982.02.08 Hammersmith Odeon not 1981.02.15 Hammersmith Odeon. The seeming authenticity of the BBC covers hints at a BBC printing error re the date on the cover, quite credible for a short-run pressing of pre- and allegedly never- broadcast recordings mastered onto vinyl in very few copies.
The fact remains that this is a top-quality unreleased recording of the Stranglers ... just past their prime. This is where I switch
off; however good the recording (and it is great), the new material is just not exciting, and the replays of older material were
betteron older recordings. Nice to have got it; now I see reconfirmation of why I switched off after the Raven.
Cheers, Dave Sez.
