Queen Margaret Union Glasgow University 12th February 1977

Here's a reasonably sounding recording of an early gig from Glasgow from February 1977. Amazingly this was the band's second gig in he city in a mere two months (having played Strathclyde University in mid December 1976). On this second occasion they were a late replacement for the Ian Gillan Band. As such there was a degree of hostility from the audience who had turned up expecting a night of heavy rock from the former Deep Purple front man, but instead got an hour of p*nk rock from a barely known band of hooligans! Apparently the evening ended with The Stranglers barricaded in the dressing room.

Unfortunately there is some hiss from my version during 'Rats Rally' and 'Hanging Around' is cut. Never the less it's well worth a listen.
