23 each now although I'm pretty sure Euroman (20's in the album charts?) had far much more commercial success than Nosferatu (40's in the album charts?) at the time. JJ toured. Hugh didn't. Late 70's. Still Euroman for me though!
Maybe I'll find love when there's nothing to do........

Aye it was and that is one of the best songs they have ever written, Walk On By is another good un, The Stranglers just don't write em like that anymore.

If I remember correctly JJ said years back in Strangled magazine that Euroman had sold 100,000 copies.

i agree with euroman being naive, especially all the politics, i think his political ideas and beliefs seem rather naive too.
fire and water, i thought, was absolute crap. didnt mind the vlad song and nuclear power, but what on earth is the dino rap, and detective private what ever its called. dire stuff
nosferatu....gothic masterpiece. try watching the 1922 film to the album, it works. hugh suggests it in an issue of strang
