Search - Stranglers :: Ua Singles 1977-1982

2009 three CD collection. The Stranglers were one of the most successful bands to emerge from Punk's first wave in the UK. While they were adored by the Punks, their sound was more reminiscent of '60s rockers Atomic Rooster and The Doors. The Stranglers' early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's pulsating bass, but also proudly gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards at a time when the instrument was seen as unfashionable. Their early music was also characterized by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Jean-Jacques Burnel and Hugh Cornwell. This most excellent triple disc set contains every single released for United Artists between 1977 and 1982, including both A and B-sides. 49 tracks including 'Nice And Sleazy', '(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)', 'Golden Brown', 'Strange Little Girl', 'Peaches', 'Something Better Change' and many more.
