Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

I reckon there'll be some old songs that everyone knows, some old songs that some people know, some newer songs that the "lapsed fans" like, some newer songs that have been fairly successful, and maybe one or two obscure ones we weren't really expecting. Reckon I've nailed that. I'll stick...

Where do you stop Public Image without John Lydon, Killing Joke without Jaz Coleman, The Banshees without Siouxsie Sioux, Fingers without Jake Burns how about lets change and have a new Elvis Presley if its got the blessing of The Elvis Presley Estate. Where do you stop ? and if you are a Strangler...

The trouble is, to do justice to the whole career it would have to be at least a 2CD set like Decades Apart but they'd have to take off some of the old classics to make way for the Giants/DM stuff, so what's the point?

Oh wow, that's a blast from the past. Seen them at Guilfest 3 times I think, and the 2002 set was my first Stranglers gig.

The story goes that Dave and Jet thought the band still had more to do and convinced JJ to continue. JJ's book is quite positive regarding the About Time album. No Mercy is quite positive about In the Night, and possibly About Time as well (it's been a while since I read it). The copies of Strangled...
