Recently emerged images from the Nashville Rooms 76 - The photographer Cindy Stern says March 1976 - but for some reason, others think later. The T-Shirts are interesting, original logo with "the" off to the left, not centred like later (though the early singles still show it to the left on their labels). No idea what the image is though.

When Dave first arrived - looking very Rusty Butler here

Apparently earliest picture of The Stranglers taken in 75 - it has been colourised. There is an original black and white version out there, but I could not find it again.

Seriously looks like someone was trying to make em look like the Village People. How wrong. I mean, I like the Village People and all but there's no need to mess with stuff.

Correct, a black and white version is in the book, cut off just below Dave's medallion.
