  • I played the hell out of that album back in the '70's...one of my all time favourites

  • @mackenziek1

    Didn't we all !

  • So fortunate to have been able to hear this while it was relatively new, even admittedly though I'm one of those bloody fat Yank wankers.

    Life was good to be so near college radio back 30 plus years ago. {WCNI- New London, CT.} They just emanated education...even for those of us too poor, dumb, drunk, dopey, etc..to have gone to school there.

    Tune in and hear The Stranglers, or tune into everything else and hear non-stop Boston, Van Halen, and The Bee Gees.

    The choice was obvious.

    You were lucky, so much of the USA missed all this great stuff. I'm "friends" with a guy from Berlin who grew up on the "wrong " side of the Wall in East Berlin, and he was able to listen to all this great music in perfect FM Stereo from the "British Forces Broadcasting Service" as the British, French and the USA still had small troop contingents in Berlin. I've always found this incredibly ironic. The Bee Gees in LA, The Stranglers in East Berlin !

  • No one can compare to The Stranglers! Their first 10 years were truly astounding.

  • @onemaddog100 Thanks, pal.

    Admittedly, I'm not too far removed from Britain. Both parents were of limey stock as far back as I can trace.

    Too few of us around here now.

  • @2000toddowen Good post mate: knowing what u r: so important, and it aint your fault u were not born English. Our empathy is with the decent yanks , fk the idiots!
