Comments for Stranglers, The, And Friends Live In Concert

An odd album which suprises in many ways. Specially the fact that Robert Fripp plays on it.

This album was recorded live when Hugh Cornwell was in the Jail. The recorded was bad with a lot of noise. Their interest is the people that plays the songs and the historic moment.
