The Stranglers, Keystone, Berkeley, CA, USA, 13th November 1980

This superb Stranglers set was recorded for an American radio station, but was quite possibly never broadcast, and is taken from the original source tape. The mix is a little odd, with the keyboards much more to the fore than would be expected, but it's a rare gem!
