Stranglers/NY,USA 1978

A good stereo audience recording of a New York performance from the 1978 US tour when the 3rd album “BLACK AND WHITE” was released! A good stereo audience recording of a live performance held in New York on March 7, 1978 from the 1978 US tour when the 3rd album “BLACK AND WHITE” was released! Although the venue is unknown, this live sound source is recorded with fairly good sound quality for the time, and the sound image is close to mono because the range is narrow, but each part, including vocals, is recorded with very good balance and good sound quality. In addition, the deviation of the positioning caused by the master has been carefully corrected. There is a missing part due to a tape change in the first half of “Nice ‘n’ Sleazy”. A live performance about two months before the release of the third album “BLACK AND WHITE”, known as a masterpiece that condenses the charm of the early Stranglers, released about eight months after the second album following the two albums released in succession in 1977. The tour started the day after the release of the new song “Five Minutes” in February, which was not included in the album. The set list is full of aggressive songs including “Five Minutes” and seven new songs from the album, including the single “Nice ‘n’ Sleazy” released before the album! You can enjoy the intense performance of Jan’s aggressive bass, Dave’s keyboards flying freely in all directions, Jet’s heavy and tight rhythm, and Hugh’s sharp guitar and unique vocals with excellent sound quality!
