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.

Stinky Turner's Top 10 Punk Albums

 

My mate Tony Clarke pointed me in the direction of the Rejects' pugilistic shouter Jeff Turner's punk podcast. I am running a Top 30 punk album thread on Aural Sculptors, but here is his.... I'm not gonna argue with him! No spoilers other than to say that The Stranglers are in their somewhere. Of his Top 10 I have nine of them. When it comes to the one missing from my collection it is because I share Stinky's opinion of the lead singer!
