- A VERY SPECIAL DOUBLE ALBUM ON 180g HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL
- ONE BLACK LP; ONE TRANSPARENT RED
- BONUS TRACKS, INCLUDING 2 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED
- REMASTERED
- UNIQUE SIGNED 10”x10” ART PRINT
- INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED &amp; LIMITED TO JUST 1000 Originally released in January 1983, FELINE was The STRANGLERS’ sixth studio LP and their first for new label, Epic. 1982 had proved to be a very good year for the band. The last three singles released for former label EMI had been more gentle and mellower-natured than anything their audience had been previously accustomed to. So when FELINE landed, it perhaps shouldn’t have been such a surprise to both fans and critics alike that there was such a perceived musical shift. Hugh &amp; JJ’s acquisition of acoustic guitars from a now world-renowned guitar maker in Bristol helped shape FELINE into becoming possibly the nearest thing to an “unplugged” studio album the band have yet made. Gone were the powerful, sinister, throbbing melodies of their New Wave sound and in came an extraordinary and, at that time, hitherto-unheard mix of acoustic and electronic delights. Having said that, from the black panther on the sleeve to the underlying melodies of the record, underpinned by that unmistakable growling bass, the band still managed to convey their dark, menacing, moody and quietly threatening no-nonsense persona. Much of FELINE was written at Jet’s house and as soon as the band were free from the shackles of EMI, Epic arranged for them to decamp to ICP Studios in Brussels for all of September, 1982 to record it. It was produced there by the band with Steve Churchyard and mixed by Tony Visconti. The album was preceded by the gloriously-beautiful and breathy JJ-sung EUROPEAN FEMALE, which immediately fired the band back into the UK’s Top 10 Singles Chart. As the single peaked, the album crashed into the UK charts at number 4 and neither they nor the suits at Epic could have imagined a much better start to life at their new label. In fact it got better, as this new mellow sound struck a chord with European audiences - particularly in France - where FELINE effectively broke them to a much bigger audience; one they still enjoy to this day. Two further singles were released from FELINE. The mighty album opener, MIDNIGHT SUMMER DREAM, a melody of JJ’s with intoned dead-pan lyrics from Hugh, following an grand symphonic opening from Dave, was released in late February 1983. Both the 7” Edit and the magnificent 101⁄2 minute Special 12” Mix feature amongst the tracks on the bonus LP that comes with this 2019 release. At the end of July, PARADISE was released. Again sung by JJ, he wrote it after an uncomfortable holiday he’d hated in the Seychelles because of his discomfort with the poverty that surrounded the luxury in which he was staying. Fact fans: it is the only STRANGLERS’ single that features voices from beyond the band, as backing vocals were provided by JJ’s then-girlfriend Anna von Stern and France L’Hermitte (of Polyphonic Size). The 7” Edit that appears on Side 3 is surprisingly scarce and has never previously appeared on vinyl. It has only otherwise been available on The Hit Men CD compilation from 1996. The bonus LP on this 2019 release is cut on transparent red vinyl and entitled CLAWING AT THE SKY, which references both the black panther of the album sleeve and a lyric from ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME. Side 3 gathers the three 7” single edits and a couple of B-sides from the period. The EUROPEAN FEMALE Radio Edit was a surprising find, in as much as it turns out it’s never been previously released in any commercial shape or form until now. Other than providing the 7” radio promo serviced from late 1982, the tape has lain gathering dust in Sony’s vaults, overlooked by all previous compilers, until it was re-discovered in 2018. PÃWSHÄ’R &amp; PERMISSION were, respectively, the B-side and the 12” bonus track for the PARADISE single. They are the two tracks within this collection that were recorded outside of the main sessions. The former, a mysterious single-repeated-word song, was recorded in New York in April, 1983; the latter, in London, two months later. Appropriately Summery, it chronicles the antics of the notorious French CRS riot police. Side 4 includes SAVAGE BREAST. Originally intended as an album track, it was left off at the last minute only to surface before the album’s release as the B-side of EUROPEAN FEMALE. Hugh’s career-long love of playing with well-established names and phrases ran over on FELINE, with SAVAGE BREAST, MIDNIGHT SUMMER DREAM and LET’S TANGO IN PARIS completing his trio of word-play titles for 1983. In fact, so many of the song titles on FELINE are familiar phrases: IT’S A SMALL WORLD; SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT; ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME; NEVER SAY GOODBYE... Rounding off this collection are a couple of tongue-in-cheek curios that well support the band’s sense of fun. VLADIMIR &amp; OLGA is akin to a modern-day Russian folk song based on a fictional couple in (then) Soviet-era USSR. It is the first in what became a quirky and much-loved series of adventures that were to recur over the next decade. The initial pressings of the original LP of FELINE included a free bonus one-sided 7” called AURAL SCULPTURE. It was a sarcastic rant against the death of music in general and song-writing in particular. If you got it, it was both barbed and hilarious. Subsequently, the theme was carried on, with that title becoming the band’s next album, so the track was from there-on re-titled AURAL SCULPTURE MANIFESTO. It also featured on initial copies of the cassette. The whole package comes in a wide-spine sleeve. Paying homage to the original North American cover, the black panther here has had her fangs added. She has also been picked out in spot varnish to add a new gloss to her already-majestic coat. Both LPs run at 331⁄3 RPM and come in newly-created inner bags. An art print of the black panther, measuring roughly 10”x10” with each one individually signed by Jet, JJ, Dave &amp; Baz is also included.

The Stranglers Feline LP (Vinyl)

Originally released in February 1981, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE MENINBLACK was The STRANGLERS’ fifth studio LP. Their most obvious concept album, the subject matter is, largely, aliens, UFOs and religion. The recording sessions were, by Strangler standards, both lengthy and expensive. Spread across the first eight months of 1980, they coincided with what was a tumultuous and chaotic time for the band; one that included Hugh’s imprisonment in March, the infamous “riot” in Nice in June, changing management in September, deaths amongst their road crew and other close associates and ended with their uninsured gear being stolen in New York whilst on tour in North America in October. Such were the dark forces that followed The STRANGLERS around at this time, that it all added credence to their own theory that they were being monitored and malevolently influenced by the Meninblack themselves for trying to expose them. Whether this or just a strange and highly unfortunate chain of events, it added a new dimension of menace and mystery to an already extremely dark band... Another factor, the sale of their label, UA, to EMI, whilst presenting numerous challenges, did, in one sense, give them the artistic freedom to experiment, cross barriers and do their own thing. That freedom included working in multiple studios across Europe - some of the most advanced of the time - with Steve Churchyard engineering and the band producing. These started and ended at Air Studios in London (non-album singles BEAR CAGE and WHO WANTS THE WORLD were amongst the tracks recorded here) and, in between, took in Giorgio Moroder’s Euro-disco factory, Musicland in Munich in May (THROWN AWAY, fittingly, was crafted here, along with SECOND COMING); Pathé Marconi in Paris in June, (FOUR HORSEMEN, WALTZINBLACK &amp; HALLOW TO OUR MEN were here); near Rome, in late June/early July and at John Lennon’s old house and, by then, Ringo Starr’s Startling Studios in Ascot, Berkshire, in August (TURN THE CENTURIES, TURN). THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE MENINBLACK peaked at #8 on the UK Album chart and became the band’s then-best-performing album-to-date in Europe. Whilst it was greeted with derision and head-scratching by the critics, unable to get past the concepts in order to appreciate some of the amazing sweeping instrumentation and melodies, it has always been looked on fondly by the band members. Both Hugh &amp; JJ have stated separately several times that it is amongst their favourite albums and certainly the freedom they had around its recording was unrivalled. JJ has even gone so far as to call it The STRANGLERS’ “prog” album; whilst Hugh has referred to it as The STRANGLERS’ “most psychedelic” record; something that is especially borne out when listening on headphones. WALTZINBLACK, the band’s signature instrumental, later theme to the legendary Keith Floyd cooking programmes and still, to this day, the band’s stage intro music, is one of two instrumentals on the album, along with the haunting, repetitive and melancholy TURN THE CENTURIES, TURN. JUST LIKE NOTHING ON EARTH, the second single released from the album, has a terrific tongue-twisting, alliterative lyric based on accounts of people who have reported encounters with aliens and is a great “team effort” of original sounds. SECOND COMING muses over Christ’s return to earth and how He might be received. WAITING FOR THE MENINBLACK deals with more about the sinister men dressed in black who are perhaps aliens; perhaps government agents sent to supress chaos. The chanting is based on Dr Faust and brings into question magic, religion and all things too complex for most human minds. TWO SUNSPOTS is not all it seems lyrically - but was the earliest track to be recorded on this album. In Strangler lore, it is legendary for being the track that was slowed down to half-speed to become Meninblack on previous album, The Raven. It’s the same 24-track 2” tape recording from 1978’s Eden Studios session that was used again here. FOUR HORSEMAN is a most unusual and musically clever recording. It is the last vocal performed by Dave which then ventures off into a beautiful, meandering and wistful instrumental, completely at odds with its apocalyptic subject matter. THROWN AWAY, the first single released from the album and sung by JJ, was written from the perspective of an alien visitor to earth set to a Stranglers-go-Euro-disco beat. MANNA MACHINE refers to a contraption believed buried in the Golan Heights which, in Biblical times, produced food that saved the Israelites from starvation. It is based around an intriguing series of sound effects and then-complicated drum loops, with a dead-pan vocal. Seven-and-a-half minute closer HALLOW TO OUR MEN is a “scat vocal” take on the Lord’s Prayer, book-ended by instrumental passages that start in 5/4 time and eventually soar off into a crescendo with a beautiful melody and multi-layered guitars. The bonus LP on this 2018 release is cut on fluorescent, alien-green vinyl and entitled THE MENINBLACK - REVELATIONS. Side 3, gathers assorted bonus tracks from the period. These include the non-album 7” singles released in 1980 as a precursor, BEAR CAGE &amp; WHO WANTS THE WORLD; the latter’s B-side, the instrumental THE MENINBLACK (WAITING FOR ‘EM) plus TOP SECRET &amp; MANINWHIITE, the B-sides, respectively, of the album’s singles, THROWN AWAY &amp; JLNOE. The remaining seven tracks are all previously unreleased *. THE FREEZER is a long-lost gem. Recorded in March, 1980, it is an instrumental, which became MANNA MACHINE but is around 100 seconds longer than its more familiar vocalised version. Side 4 opens with a demo version of WHO WANTS THE WORLD. Recorded in early 1980, it is longer, slower and with a slightly different mix to the single version. The demo version of TWO SUNSPOTS is the best and brightest of three mixes from the Portland Studios sessions in London from 7th May, 1979. Again, another Stranglers’ Holy Grail track is released officially for the first time. Three rampant more contemporary live recordings follow. THROWN AWAY is from Paris, in April 2014, whilst JUST LIKE NOTHING ON EARTH &amp; BEAR CAGE are the first official recordings released from the 2018 UK tour, taken from Brixton Academy in March. Rounding things off, MARCHINBLACK, the WALTZINBLACK remix produced for the intro music to the band’s 2016 March On Tour, is a fitting finale. The whole package comes in a gatefold sleeve, with Da Vinci’s doctored “Last Supper” across the inside. Both LPs run at 331⁄3 RPM and come in newly-created inner bags. An art print, each individually signed by Jet, JJ, Dave &amp; Baz and measuring roughly 10”x10” of a Maninblack carefully studying the album sleeve, is also included.

Originally released in November 1981, LA FOLIE was The STRANGLERS’ sixth studio LP and the last for their original label, UA/Liberty/EMI. Another concept album - though arguably unconsciously so - this time the subject was love and matters of the heart... but interpreted with the sort of unconventional twists and insightful observations only The STRANGLERS could conceive. The recording sessions were that summer at Richard Branson’s Manor Studios in the Cotswolds, with Steve Churchyard engineering and the band producing. Tony Visconti then mixed the album at his Good Earth Studios in London’s Soho. The result is probably the nearest thing to a “commercial-sounding” album that the band has yet made, with a pure pop sensibility running throughout and vocals high in the mix; a feature that today is commonly regarded as a Visconti trademark. With a string of intriguing and, frankly, at times very long song titles, LA FOLIE deals with topics such as the love of god; hate; the family; lust; drugs; greed, war and destruction; the search for love; celebrity culture’s fickle attitude towards life and death and the true-life tale of cannibalism as the ultimate crime of passion. Lead single, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FAMILY, is a frantic, beat-led, trance-like highly-original pastiche disco number, which sounded years ahead of its time. As such, its release held high hopes but it stalled at UK #42, to the huge disappointment of both band and label. Fortunately, the second single managed to get the band back on track and, as they later admitted, “saved their career”. GOLDEN BROWN was championed heavily by Jet in particular and radio picked up on it over Christmas ’81 and into 1982. It became a global smash and peaked at #2 in the UK, becoming the 11th biggest selling single of 1982. It helped The STRANGLERS shrug off the tag of being “just a punk band” and opened them up to a new and much wider audience. Amongst other accolades, it was famously BBC Radio 2 Single Of The Week and won an Ivor Novello Award in 1983 for The Most Performed Work of 1982, beating Oh Julie by Shakin’ Stevens and Love Plus One by Haircut 100… The third and final single was the gorgeous, atmospheric title track. Unfortunately, a six minute song sung in French was possibly not the best way to capitalise on the mass-market success of GOLDEN BROWN and it failed to dent the UK Top 40. LA FOLIE itself peaked at #11 on the UK Album charts. The bonus LP on this 2018 release is cut on rose pink vinyl and entitled LA FOLIE – EXTRA TEXTURE. It gathers assorted bonus tracks from the period. On Side 3, THE MAN THEY LOVE TO HATE is taken from a BBC Radio 1 Session recorded for the David Jensen Show in London on 24th January, 1982. Part of a four-song session which was then first-broadcast on 11th February, 1982, it was recorded on the eve of the hastily-arranged UK tour off the back of the massive success of Golden Brown. It is released here on LP for the very first time. STRANGE LITTLE GIRL was given to EMI as a “peace offering” to help get the band out of their deal. The song was originally one of the demos the band had touted round all the record companies – including EMI – and had had rejected in 1974. Original member, the late Hans Warmling had created the piano melody before Dave joined in ‘75. The lyric was updated, Tony Visconti mixed it again and, with a pleasing sense of completing the circle, it was released in July, 1982 and became the sound of that summer, peaking at UK #7. The band’s profile had never been higher or more broad-reaching and amongst a string of activities their new-found celebrity brought, they were to be found opening village fetes! CRUEL GARDEN is the B-side to SLG. One of their finest, it features acoustic guitars for the first time and a Grappelli-esque keyboard-effect violin. It was a strong sign of what was to come with next album, FELINE. LOVE 30 is the B-side to GOLDEN BROWN. An instrumental, it’s a bit of a paean to tennis rebel John McEnroe and the band had hoped the BBC would use it for their Wimbledon coverage. It wasn’t to be but it’s a fun track with lots of effects. The radio edit of LA FOLIE is next up, with a couple of minutes chopped off. YOU HOLD THE KEY TO MY LOVE IN YOUR HANDS was recorded at the time of the LA FOLIE sessions but didn’t fit and finally saw the light of day on EMI’s HITS &amp; HEROES compilation in 1999. Side 4 comprises live versions of six songs from the album recorded by the BBC on the final date of the LA FOLIE UK tour at Hammersmith Odeon, London, on 8th February, 1982. They are released here on LP for the very first time. The whole package comes in a wide-spine sleeve and both LPs run at 33â…“ RPM. The album cover presents the original “under water” band images in spot UV. The bonus LP features artwork in the style of the original album, reimagined by the band’s current designer, Phil Johnson. It also includes some never-before-seen live images of the band taken on the LA FOLIE Tour by Ava Rave. An art print of the image of the raven based on the original limited 3D
