Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live: The Cockney Rejects

Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present

Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

10 From '87 (5) Cockney Rejects Centro Social La Cuesta Arnedo La Rioja 10th April 1987

This is quite a rare recording I am led to believe, released as a Spanish pressed bootleg in 1987 entitled 'Greatest Hits Volume IV - Live In Spain'.

Not quite sure where they were in their career at this point, but the set only includes a couple of tracks from their hard rock years, plus a cover of the Kinks' 'Til' The End Of The Day'. The rest of the set is from the 'Greatest Hits Volume I' and 'Greatest Hits Volume II' era for which they are best known.
