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.

Pete Shelley Heaven And The Sea Demos

 

Not a live gig from the tour that promoted the release of the 'Heaven & The Sea' album, but the demos instead! Nice sounding tracks, some of them made the grade and formed part of the album. Thanks to Jim for sharing the files.

    Thanks so much for this Ade..
    it’s brilliant to hear these.
    Track 5 is Never Again
    Track 6 remarkably is Friends that didn’t see the light of day until the 2003 Buzzcocks album
    Tracks 10 &11 are instrumental versions of Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself so are maybe from a different date?
    Cheers Nick

      Hi mate, yes it’s me, I hope you are well. He sure was..wasn’t he!! Sadly, sadly missed. I was very pleased to see the RSD sessions release announced. Hopefully there is still some other stuff waiting in the archives.
