Here's another one from the Paul Roberts archive, such as it is. A short set in preparation for the main event. With the exception of 'Big Thing Coming' this was inevitably going to be a greatest hits set for very much a non-Stranglers crowd. It's not that The Stranglers have not played with reggae bands in the past, think Steel Pulse. However, to my ears, late career UB40 were a far cry from the band who sitting on the fringes of 2 Tone released '1 in 10'. The 2003 version were more of a 'Lover's Rock' outfit far removed from the politically volatile Birmingham of the late 1970s.
Thanks to Malcolm who uploaded this to Dime some time ago.
