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.

20 From '97 (12) Cockney Rejects Centro Social La Cuesta Arnedo La Rioja

 


A bit of internet digging reveals that this soundboard recording of the band playing in Spain has an unofficial release in 1987 under the name of 'Greatest Hits Volume IV: Live In Spain'. After the street punk/Oi thing hit the buffers in the early 1980's, the Rejects changed tack and started to explore their appreciation of metal. However, at this Spanish gig the majority of the tracks go back to the 'Greatest Hits Vol. I' and 'Greatest Hits Vol. II'.
