The Stranglers,
West Orange Creations Club, New Jersey, USA, 7th April 1981

Good quality audience recording. The band were touring their "Meninblack" album at this point. I don't know if this is the full show (it's only 51 minutes long). "Nuclear Device" fades out as though the taper was recording on a C90 and had to flip the tape during the song.

The Stranglers,
Theatre Royal, Nottingham, UK, 19th August 1980

Excellent FM radio broadcast which was a simultaneous transmission with the "Rockstage" TV appearance. This show was mid-way between "the Raven" and "The Meninblack" albums and includes what was probably a fairly early outing of "Thrown Away" which was the first single from the latter.

The Stranglers,
Masonic Hall, Toronto, Canada, 1st May 1983

Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany, 27th November 1979

Good quality audience recording of The Stranglers touring "The Raven" in late 1979. the taper appears to have flipped the tape during "The Raven" - and taken some time about it, too, as approx four minutes of the song are missing.

UK Subs,
The Jolly Boatman, Hampton Court, Surrey, UK 21st December 1987

Excellent mixing desk recording. The UK subs have just released their first album in nearly nine years (the excellent "Work in Progress") and this is posted to celebrate that. The band were touring their "Japan Today" album at the time, but most of the set is drawn from their first two, classic albums. You can buy the new Subs' album (and some of their earlier works) from www.captainoi.com.

Alex Chilton,
WLYX FM, Memphis, USA, 1975

Good quality (though a bit hissy) FM radio broadcast. This is a pretty shambolic performance by an obviously-inebriated Chilton, performing his own songs and some covers: "Femme Fatale" is a Velvet Underground cover, "Death Cab for Cutie" was by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and "I Will Always Love You" a Dolly Parton song.

01 Femme Fatale
02 Oh Dana
03 Take Me Home And Make Me Like It
04 Jesus Christ
05 Death Cab For Cutie
06 Kizza Me
07 I Will Always Love You
