The Stranglers / Here and There: The Epic B-sides compilation

A new Stranglers collection will be released in the UK later this month that compiles the band’s B-sides from the Epic Years (1983-1991).

The 40-track collection – which was available in some territories earlier this year – spans two CDs and includes the saga of ‘Vladimir’ which featured on a few different singles back in the day.

Interestingly – a bit of inside information for you – I proposed a Stranglers ‘Remixes & Rarities’ for Cherry Red last year that contained much of this plus various single remixes, but it was rejected by the band’s management. Oh well.

Here & There: The Epic B-sides Collection will be available on 17 November 2014.
