United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Old Testament (Audio CD) This import covers the Stranglers' strongest stuff. The cost--barring buying an eventual re-mix, which is unlikely--seems high, yet if you wish a near exhaustive catalog, you cannot go wrong here. All of the first albums and most of the singles and B-sides are here (there were a few, mostly foreign-language singles excluded). The book-length liner notes are well-written and amusing, the art-work is fitting, and the material is, as you would expect, superb. The best box set I've ever bought. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Everything you could possibly want!, By This review is from: Old Testament (Audio CD) Yup, it's all there. All the official releases from their 1st 6 albums on UA + a few singles. Everything you remember from the heyday of the Stranglers from 77-82. Never really completely punk but somehow harder and nastier & with David Greenfield's sophisticated Organ playing they set themselves apart in a World of their own. All the Classics you would imagine are here 'No More Heroes', 'Get a Grip', 'Something Better Change' hey I could go on and on and on. They were a pretty prolific band on the singles front and this great compilation ends with some of their most successful stuff, which strangely enough was the most laid-back. 'Golden Brown' was one of those few records that crossed all genres. It played everywhere and could be taken as sinister or romantic, take your pick. Back in 77-78' the Strangler's were all about nasty reality which came over in their sexually charged lyrics & their 'Oi mate, shut your face' mentality. At least that's how they came across...
