The Stranglers - Black And White






















Having exhausted their large original repertoire of songs, the Stranglers offered their own more European view of the world in the light of their touring far afield and a totally new set of songs,.. Split into Black and white sides songs no longer had a punky speed but were driven by a more controlled anger and power. The sound and lyrics were still abrasive allied to catchy hooky tunes but were already heading towards the refinement of The Raven and beyond. Black and White and its release has all the Stranglers traits around it. Run in with journalists and provocative lyrics and advertising. For the Stranglers in terms of support you were either for or against . It was black & White.
