The Stranglers - Bear Cage 12'' (1980)

Another 12'' extended rare version Stranglers single for you. This wasn't a favourite of mine at the time and it still isn't. I do like it more than I did at the time though but compared to their eariler stuff,its poor in my humble opinion.
Tracks

1) Bear Cage
2) Shah Shah A Go Go

I hear what you're saying BUT... this has actually ended up being one of my fav Stranglers songs - no accounting for taste, eh? Pretty difficult to find an'all so ta... IBx

Longy said...

Yes your right IB,there is no accounting for taste! The problem with the Stranglers is their stuff previous to this one was just SO good and it was hard for them to keep up such a standard. This sounded tired and jaded to me (just like the band were at the time)

Now, why is this very tasty remix scarce as hen's teeth, even if you *are* willing and able to lay out large wads of cash for an original vinyl copy? Thank you for posting this. As long as the record labels are too stupid to give people what they *really* want, music bloggers, like yourself, are performing a public service!

Thanks for the comment Anon and yes of course you are right about record labels and hopefully your 2nd point as well : - )
