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.

The Clash Brixton Fair Deal London 30th July 1982

 


My sincere thanks goes to DomP for this one. The previously posted Fair Deal gigs were lower quality recordings of dates that The Clash played there earlier in the month. The band returned to South London on 30th July '82 for a final London date before hot footing it back to America to consolidate their recent 'Combat Rock' success by means of a marathon four month Stateside touring schedule. Dom informs me that this was the one ocassion that Mick Jones played in front of his Dad. It also turned out to be the last gig that he would play in the capital as a member of The Clash.

A word about the recording then. The majority of it is soundboard sourced. The set is completee with a handful of audience sourced tracks in the middle of the set, each marked with an asterisk. DomP has renmastered it so that it is sounding great!

Thanks Dom. I appreciate the share!
