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.

Sam's Minneapolis 20th May 1981 - DomP Remaster

 

Still just in time for its own birthday! DomP reminded me this morning about a gig that he sent to me back in December. This gig from Minneapolis (like many from those '80/'81 US tours) sounds superb and even better for getting a bit of a DomP workout.

Hugh is in a particularly mischievous mood on this night telling stories of royals that could get him hanged for treason!

As always thanks to Dom for the work and the share.
