And If You Should See Dave.....

the track is great.I really like it. It's got some great, cheesy lyrics. Not the first Stranglers song to be a bit cheesy.
It's got a great feel about it. I'm glad its given the band some well deserved recognition.
I don't follow the charts anymore so don't know it it was placed.
However, I'm old school. I want a physical copy. vinyl or CD. I don't know if I've missed if has been released on either or just as a download. How can you complete a collection of a band if you can't buy a physical copy?

They should release a 7” single, with a live Genetix on the b-side

It's a shame Marc Riley isn't even playing this. He doesn't seem to be a fan for some reason. Very strange.

midweek charts are out. No Stranglers to be seen anywhere.

I'm totally, completely unsurprised.

Id like to see the album do well in the album charts. Not bothered about the singles chart.

Who gives a fuck? The brain dead 2 year olds that buy chart shit means a class song by the stranglers won't get anywhere, we love it and the band love it, music is just throwaway now to so many people, back in my day, it meant something, still they did quite well in the iTunes Rock chart. Still love the song it's pure class and so heartfelt. Lt Kudu.

There are currently no plans to release it as a physical copy sadly Short of bombarding management with emails asking for one, I'm not sure we can change that?

This tbh. I've seen a number of older acts do well in the album charts lately and I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch for The Stranglers to do as well as them

lol well you said it as it is .... 100% with you on this one,i really could'nt give a monkeys about the charts its all about their music and if i like it thats all that matters and it really doesnt matter if they were 160 in the charts or 16 in the charts it wont make me like or dislike the song anymore because of a chart position.Its a beautiful tribute and i love it! Dont gey me wrong its great to see their name back in the charts again after so long but what does it mean at then end of the day its different nowdays when it once really meant something back in the day its a different world now with social media etc,so yes i agree with what you have said and i think most would too i would imagine.Ive started to write a poem about JJ the only one of the original four that i haven't yet but it will take some time,will post it when its finished.

You really don't have a clue what you're talking about and don't understand how culture works in 2021. It's been a while since we had an "old man yells at cloud" moment on here though, so thanks for that.

The two videos on You Tube have had over 90,000 views in under a week so that's pretty good.

Stan, First off yes I'm 53,im old yes and? Secondly I know the change in the way music is heard these days, and despite me being an old codger I am very aware of how things have changed with music and life in every way, its my view and as this is a forum, I posted my opinion, to state I don't know what I'm talking about is your opinion on what I think, I dont agree with most of your posts, but I don't come back with a semi insulting repost, I'm not saying whatever I post is how it is, and I'm certainly not saying what you post is how it is, it's all a melting pot of opinion, so if you disagree with me as you often seem to, maybe just do it in a way thats a bit more civil? I don't recall on any occasion I have been churlish to you, I respect your opinions as I do other forum members.Lt Kudu.
