A huge thanks to the Historical Field Recording Unit for this recent recording from Hugh! We didn't have any tickets for these dates and it was only when Mo, after seeing him in Leeds last week, suggested that I may particularly enjoy the Nosferatu element of the set (well Mo, it is the best solo Strangler album by a country mile!!).
Take a look at the set, great to see a bit of variety in The Stranglers' selections, 'Dead Loss Angeles', 'Tank' and 'Sewer' back. And let's not forget that encore to die for! The upshot being that Gunta and I are going to the Electric Ballroom on Thursday.

NOTE: It has been pointed out that this is not the original file as recorded and checking on the Dime info file this would appear to be the case 'The only thing I've done to this fine recording is Amplify the Right Channel +3db to balance the audio...'. As a consequence of 40 years in close proximity to Burnel's bass stack my hearing in my right ear is slightly impared... so any imbalance is rather lost on me.
Not the original recording...right hand channel boosted to high
ReplyDeleteToo high even.
DeleteThis is the file from Dime and looking through the notes it does appear that a modification has been made. I will add a comment to the post.
ReplyDeleteNice!!
