This one comes with a health warning worthy of a ton of asbestos! But, it is a posted here at the specific request of Phil Coxon (for it was his first outing with the band) and Yesican, who recently kindly helped me out with a couple of replacement recordings. Cheers to you both!
Seemingly recorded from within a closed toilet cubicle at the back of the hall, with the mike in the bowl, nestling under a generous turd.... this recording otherwise is great! Setwise it showcases 'Black & White' almost in its entirety.

ReplyDeleteCheers Ade - after the build-up you've given it, I cannot WAIT to hear this beauty!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, this was my first stranglers gig, and as it was an early evening gig we also went to Barbarellas to see Xray Spex on the same night when we got back to Brum on the free coach
ReplyDeleteI think I recall Steel Pulse were the support
ReplyDeleteYes and they got booed a lot as I remember lol (it was my first stranglers gig too - at the ripe age of 14) where has the time gone? My god that was 42yrs ago & guess what, I still have my original ticket :)
ReplyDeleteThat was some bikers
DeleteI remember them playng Nice n Sleazy with a stripper and they also played Down in the Sewer. The Stranglers were at their peak, fantastic gig.
