Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THE STRANGLERS : Hope & Anchor, 1977.

Decent recording of a 1977 Stranglers gig from the Hope and Anchor. (Scene of many a Specials & Madness show also). Reasonable track list, consisting mainly of material from the 1st two LP's and early singles / EP's. As always, comments & feedback are welcome - lets have some more messages from new people please....As always, click on the St George's flag to start the download process.

    Thanks for this one!
    Hadn't heard anything by The Stranglers in quite awhile. Nice to revisit them!

I have tons more Stranglers if you would like me to leave links in the comments; I could also provide a review of all known Stranglers pre-'82 bootlegs out there - just gimme the time to write it - just let me know here. Cheers, Dave Sez.

    Oh, and the H&A gig was on 22nd November 1977; another great recording was at the Roundhouse on 6th November 1977.

    Cheers, Dave Sez.

    Thanks Dave. The links would be great - I'm always interested in Stanglers (Cornwell era) boots / recordings.

    Thanks, Skamanc, for your listing. It looks like both of us have been trawling radiolux's posts at guitars101, but there are a few you don't seem to have. First up is a superb quality 1982 recording - a bit late for me, as you'll see from the comments I added to the post, which include tracklisting and all details. It's an unbroadcast BBC transcription disc, so not to be missed!

    Get it here thanks to Altronic:

    You'll find a slew of Stranglers posts of mine (but you seem to have most of them) here:

    http://burningaquarium.blogspot.com/2009/03/stranglers-4-free-eps-1977-1980.html

    It's worth searching the comments to the posts for different groups on the above site, as I have added a whole series of links to other recordings.

    Another couple you don't seem to have (but I haven't gone and got or checked links so I can't comment further:

    and an alternative for Cherry Hill:

    onlybootleghere.blogspot.com (the archive for the now-closed first TUBE site which is now at http://theultimatebootlegexperience3.blogspot.com/) also had this one:

    Stranglers - 1980-11-13 - Berkeley, CA
    (FM mp3@192)

    "This superb Stranglers set was recorded for an American radio station,
    but was quite possibly never broadcast, and is taken from the original
    source tape. The mix is a little odd, with the keyboards much more to
    the fore than would be expected, but it's a rare gem!"

    01 Toiler On The Seas
    02 Duchess
    03 Baroque Bordello
    04 Hanging Around
    05 Crowd noise
    06 Down In The Sewer
    07 Hugh speaks
    08 Who Wants The World
    09 Threatened
    10 Just Like Nothing On Earth
    11 Nuclear Device
    12 Dead Loss Angeles
    13 The Raven.

    I went and got it back then, but it seems to have disappeared from TUBE old and new; I'll search my link archives to see if I have a direct download link for you.

    ..........
    The new TUBE has this (haven't gone and got so I can't comment further:
