Stranglers - Don't Bring Harry EP


Still have most of my Stranglers singles but I haven't seen this one posted anywhere else.
The title track is on the Raven album, Wired was originally on Hugh Cornwell's solo album with Robert Williams "Nosferatu", Crabs was A JJ Burnel solo although this is a live version, and In The Shadows was recorded at the famous Hope And Anchor.

Waffle time :) - I didn't actually see the Stranglers live until 1979 as a supporting artist at the big Who gig at Wembley - (Gig Review), to be honest they were awful and they didn't help themselves by mainly playing tracks from the Raven insted of the better known tracks.
The show itself was saved by an inspired performance by AC/DC with the late Bon Scott on vocals.
The Who were good but not brilliant, and I mostly remember the day for the nightmare of trying to get home (ended up spending the night on a park bench near Wembley Central station after all the trains had gone before the concert ended).

01 - Don't Bring Harry
02 - Wired
03 - Crabs (Live Hemel Hempstead 79)
04 - In The Shadows (Live Hope And Anchor 77)
