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.

JJ Burnel Arts Centre Swindon (30th May 2000) And The Adelphi Preston(3rd December 2000) DVD

 


Following on from the earlier Royal Festival Hall gig, here are two more sets from the 'Songs and Stories' dates, one from the first leg (Swindon) and one from the second leg (Preston). Whilst the filmer(s) (unknown to me I am sorry) was well positioned for both gigs, the image quality has suffered somewhat over the years. However, the sound quality is good. Across these two complete gigs I think all of the 'lost' solo material is included;

'Talkin' 'Bout Me & You'
'Frogs Crossing The Road'
'Norfolk Coast'
'By The Sea'
'Big Thing Coming'
'A Kiss'
'The Girl & The Sea'

... almost enough for an album!
