Re: Embellishments and deviations
As they are, essentially, a touring band, JJ has surrounded himself with the ones he gets on with, and rightly so. I prefer to go see Straighten out where one is surrounded by Stranglers fans. What are you surrounded with at a Stranglers gig? Random passers-by who've just come in because it was rai...

Re: Embellishments and deviations
Well they seem to have consciously changed the end of Tank, and dropped the 3/8 bit that Jet did. Feels a bit sloppy to me.

Travel blanket, for those international gigs.
