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.

A Request For Replacements

 


As mentioned a few days ago, I spent a recent stormy weekend sorting through old discs, a proportion of which had been rendered unplayable as a result of use in the past of some dodgy CD labels.

In the event, the damage wasn't as bad as I was anticipating and the list is pretty short. If anyone had versions of the following (preferrably in lossless format) and can help I would be very grateful.

The Stranglers
Rainbow Theatre London 8/7/80
Sophia Gardens Cardiff 16/11/81
De Vereeniging Nijmegen 21/2/83
Roskilde Festival 4/7/87 (Radio Broadcast)

JJ Burnel
Purcell Rooms RFH London 13/12/2000

Hugh Cornwell
Cafe De Paris 27/1/05 (Alternative radio broadcast (16 tracks)

Cheers,

Adrian.
