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.

Aural Fantasy - Rat Zone Remaster

 


I have repeatedly sung the praises of the brilliant 'Rat Zone' remasters of all of the vinyl bootleg material that has been in circulation through the late '70's and '80's. They were undoubtedly a labour of love. It would be wonderful someday to see some more Rat Zone treatments of some other high quality recordings.

Here is one from the late 1980's that featured a mish mash of 'Aural Sculpture' and 'Dreamtime' demos. More importantly it threw up 'The Beast' and 'You'. It is uploded on the site elsewhere. That version is my own copy (picked up new at a Record Fair for £5 if memory serves me well).
