Biography

The story of how The Stranglers came into existence in the first place, is perhaps atypical of the music industry. No less surprising then, that it’s history too, is unusual. It began in 1973 and that story is both long and complex.

A lengthy discourse covering those formative days has now been covered in some considerable detail in Jet's musical odyssey elsewhere on these pages, which recounts… Read more in Amazon's Stranglers Store

Another day...another compilation as EMI continue to milk The Stanglers back catalogue for all its worth.
However, it's a good compilation and excellent value.
It contains every A and B side, 12" versions, foreign language versions and free singles from the UA label years and as such contains numerous fantastic tracks.
For completists only probably but a good introduction to the bands early recording career (as if anyone really needs one now!).
The booklet could be better but does a resonable enough job of listing each singles history and chart position.
It's hard not to recommend it as the songs it contains are ageless classics but you have to wonder when EMI will stop re-releasing these tracks and hurry the band up for new material.

Cracking album, if you like early Stranglers you'll love this. A great collection of singles, b sides and 12" mixes and if you are like me and had all these on vinyl as a teenager it will bring back great memories.

On one level perhaps just a cynical repackaging of The Stranglers singles (when Hugh Cornwell was in the line up), but the music stands the test of time. This is the heart and soul of their achievement - the UA singles from 1977 to 1982 including the B sides and 12 inch mixes. There was an energy and vitality to the early Stranglers sound that made this music great. For me the defining element was Dave Greenfield's keyboards - the swirling arpeggios and melodic flourishes that made the Stranglers sound unique - yet it couldn't have happened without the bedrock of good old rock and roll beneath it all - JJ's bass, Jet's rock-steady drumming and Hugh's guitar. Listen again to "No More Heroes", "Grip" or "Straighten Out" and remember how good they were.
