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.

Parc De Exposition Lille France 30th September 1983

 

Happy birthday to this black limbed beast of a gig. Cheers as ever to my partner in crime, Dom P, for these FLAC files.

  2. Why are songs in the download not track listed..? They are listed here on the site, so why not on the songs?

  3. An oversight suspect. Easy to amend once downloaded.

  5. Hope I'm not too late - but the link doesn't work... This was my fave boot as kid and I left the tape on a train. Hugh goading the locals by telling the visitors not to "judge France by Lille" was brilliant. Any chance of a re-post?
