Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present


Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

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.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

'BBC In Concert' Paris Theatre London 23rd April 1977 -UPGRADE

 


To conclude the posts related to 'Rattus Norvegicus' here is a great, clean sounding version of some of, if not the earliest radio exposure that the band got. In the month of the album's release The Stranglers featured on the regular BBC Radio 1 programme 'In Concert'. This is one of the first bootlegs that I acquired and it is still a classic. Thanks to MeAnIe for the artwork.
