GOOD BLOODY GRIEF. IN YEARS GONE BY AT least one hack paid the price for slagging off Guildford's men in black by being wrapped in tape and suspended above the stage at a Stranglers show.

The Stranglers - Stranglers in the Night: Wikipedia Album Entry
Stranglers in the Night opened the recording career of the Stranglers MK II, with Paul Roberts on vocals and John Ellis on guitar. It was also the first release on the band's own record label, "Psycho", in 1992. The band returned to a purer, less "produced" sound; the horns have departed and the songs have a less-constrained, harder edge. Styles vary from ballads such as "Southern Mountains" and "Grand Canyon" to the fast-paced "Sugar Bullets" and "Brainbox". The North American version of this album (with a white, rather than dark gray, cover) contains three extra tracks ("Coffee Shop", "Vicious Circles" and "So Uncool"), which were originally B-sides in Britain. The Album peaked at #33 in the U.K. Charts in September 1992. The single 'Heaven And Hell' was released from the album but could only chart at #46 in August 1992. The follow up single 'Sugar Bullets' failed to chart.
