THE STRANGLERS

Back in the spring of 1980, Hugh Cornwell found himself a "guest" at Pentonville Prison (for drugs possession). With two gigs scheduled at the London Rainbow for 3 April and 4 April, the management decided to turn things around by approaching a number of well known artists (including John Ellis, Toyah Willcox, Peter Hammill and Hazel O'Connor, amongst others) to fill in for the absent Cornwell. The Stranglers and Friends: Live in Concert chronicles this event for posterity. In 2002, this album was re-released on the Castle Music label with new art-work and sleeve-notes.
