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.

Happy birthday to this one. Posted here today in two forms, 24 bit (1.7Gb!) and high quality MP3. The choice is yours but I would recommend that you grab one or the other since Dom P has done a job on this one and it sounds great (a significant upgrade from the version that I had). Thanks Dom!

  2. I already had this, so it'll be interesting to hear the upgrade. To be honest, any upgrade [however small] has to be a good thing, right? Thanks for this
