No Mercy: The Authorized and Uncensored Biography of "The Stranglers"

March 28, 2016

I guess the sign of a good book is how it influences you whilst and after being read...in the case of this book it's led me to revisit various Stranglers LPs and Cds I have picked up from car boot sales over the years..in fact from reading this book it appears I have all of the Hugh Cornwell tenure of the Stranglers records in one form or another!!
That said before the book I maybe gave some of them (feline for example) a cursory listen..now I find myself wading through them and enjoying them more in regard to the context they were recorded.
The book feels an honest read given the fact some of the story's don't reflect too well on various ex and current members and as to the whole debate as to whether the stranglers were actually punk?...well it appears even members of the band differ on opinion in regard to that!!
It's a good book and not one just cataloging total excess like some rock biographical material I have read of late...say like Paul Di'anno's book...Anyhow a great book I would
