So we reach the dread year of 1984. Big Brother may have been watching you but he sure as hell wasn't watching the Stranglers this year unless he was in the vicinity of the Philipshalle in Dusseldorf the week before Christmas because this was the bands only appearance of the year. A good quality short set (the event was part of a festival hence a 9 song performance). Short maybe, but notable for the German translation of the Aural Sculpture Manifesto and a fair smattering of new songs that would hit the road in the early spring of 1985 on The Aural Sculpture tour.
