I mentioned in my last post that on occasion Aural Sculptors is host to an exclusive and here is one courtesy of the master of the remaster, DomP. Many thanks my friend. This is a lively gig, probably on account of it being just the fourth gig of a sizable UK tour. By the time I got to see them in Brighton on the last night, they would have been knackered!
Here's Dom with his own words on the recording:
'An extraordinary Valentine’s Day audience tape of The Stranglers on day four of the Sculpture tour in the north of England.
A bad night for Dave’s synths, Hugh chunters away between songs and there is a kerfuffle in one of the tracks where JJ puts down his bass and sorts something, or someone, out. Some of the most violent versions of the "older" tracks you'll hear from this era. An angry wonky classic.
This took a while to master as I couldn't quite tune in, then it clicked that it was recorded from distance, so once I figured out the hall acoustics all was good. Imagine you're listening from up on high, looking down....'
