Hot club was a good little instumental on the No Mercy 12 inch. I don't like the version on Aural Sculpture much though. All that racket in the background ruins it

I agree with that Jason - Hot Club has a fantastic tune which I think was sort of ruined by all the background noise which was supposed to make it sound like a nightclub closing up (but didn't really work). I would be a bit miffed if I was Dave because strip that distracting stuff away and you have a great track with a splendid keyboard-led melody.

Beyond that Since You Went Away is THE 'undiscovered' Strangler B-side classic I think and I also like Vietnamerica, Norman Normal (love the psychedilic ending), the enchanting Permission, Maninwhite, Top Secret, and the jaunty Achilles Heel.

All these top toons - and yet Love 30 and Yellowcake still made it onto B-sides!

Some great posts on this thread. Incidently what's the Hot Club mix without the "riot" on?

Loved that track Pawsher the first time I heard it. And Rok it to the Moon and Old Codger.

Sorry I think I might have missed the point

Nothing to do with it but as I type this I'm listening to Tomorrow Was the Hereafter - surprised how good it is. Just my opinion like.

This came on my mp3 player the other day and was (once again) blown away by the "man in Belfast" line - funnily enough, it gets me every time!!

Doesn't anyone like Who wants the world?? It's one of my favorite tracks. Or was this an a-side wich was not on an album

Vietnamerica, Rok it to the moon are also nice ones.

I like this one. and i think it's one of the best Stranglers b-sides. great bass tune,

But....any b-side nothing compares to 'Paaaawsher' - i dunno what does it mean, but i like it because it's strange

and i am almost always sleeping when i hear this one
