This the most famous album by this late 70's punk out-fit and is the Strangles debut. The Strangles are a four piece UK punk/new wave band that is very under-rated and is normally forgotten (some what like the Buzzcocks) when "the best punk bands" are talked about. Thier sound was very grimmy but with an almost gothic look.

The mian features othere that the vocials are the bass and the keyboard both with catchy melodies and riffs and some of the keyboard solos are just mind blowing. The vocials are sleazier than any I've every heard and are definatly not sang (in a pop sence anyway).

2 singles where relised from the album, the 1st being Get a Grip and the 2nd, Peaches (their 2nd most listened to song after Golden Brown). The rest of the ablum is just as good as ith consists of their stongest songs from their live set with the best of them being Hanging Aroung and London Lady.

I think everyone should give this album a listen because I'd be suprized if you hated every track.
