Flip side of the double A side with No More Heroes from 1977. A lesser heard track but one of my favourites. As the label says "Featuring the 'Barracuda Bass' sound". This is from my original vinyl 45 so apologies for the scratches (gives it that real feel). The film is some footage of Canadian soldiers from the Royal 22e Régiment in Kabul that I found on the 'tube. I thought it worked quite well.

  • Black and White. A collection of songs that exudes bleak war torn imagery and references the cold war to great effect. (U2 and Joy Division went on to create dark music with war torn overtones but the Stranglers did it first on Black and White). The production sought to capture death and destruction with a stark sneer of cold command and entrenched paranoia that existed in the late 1970's. A true masterpiece - never bettered.
