STRANGLERS HITS COLLECTION AND UK TOUR!

With no less than 42 Top 40 hits spanning over 4 decades, SonyBMG celebrate with the release, this September, of a superb TV advertised collection of THE STRANGLERS works, aptly named '4240'. The album will be released as a single CD as well as a Limited Edition CD/DVD, featuring all of the Epic promo videos on DVD for the first time plus clips from their 2007 show at London’s Roundhouse.
 
Formed in 1974, The Stranglers’ straight-talking approach earned them the reputation of being aggressive and confrontational, a notoriety that was later embraced by the punk movement of 1977. This led to their debut single Grip and their legendary first album, Rattus Norvegicus. A whole series of hits followed including Peaches, No More Heroes, 5 Minutes, Duchess, Something Better Change, Always The Sun and their ultimate classic Golden Brown.
 
To date The Stranglers boast a total of 24 Top 40 singles and 18 Top 40 albums.
 
After re-signing to EMI in 2004, The Stranglers last two studio albums, Norfolk Coast and Suite XVI have been hailed as their best for many years, with hit singles Big Thing Coming and Spectre of Love allowing the band the rare accolade of maintaining Top 40 hits over four decades.
 
They continue to play sell out shows at home and abroad and this summer the band will play a series of major UK festivals, including T in the Park, V Festival, Isle of White, Hyde Park, Oxegen and Liverpool Pops as well as appearing at key festivals throughout Europe.
 
In October The Stranglers will embark on a Greatest Hits Worldwide Tour in support of '4240'. UK dates attached.
