During the mid 90's myself and Doug Kerr came up with the idea of putting together a little fanzine which we thought might not only be a companion to the then official 'Strangled' magazine, but would give people a chance to discuss things that we not generally talked about in the official publication! A small core of regular contributors ensured that it gained some momentum and in the 2 years that it ran for, we managed to put together 8 issues.
The scrapbooks were put to good use in this time and formed the mainstay of many of the issues. A couple of years ago whilst having a sort out I came across some various articles lying around, and just stuck them on the net. The articles contained in this endeavour would seem to fit well into this Blog!
Over the years as we all know, The Stranglers have had their fair share of exposure in the press! At the height of their fame, or 'infamy' they were regular features in the music press along with the non music press. Any clippings which you might want to share, please send to deadeye63@hotmail.co.uk in jpg format! Special Thanks to Richard Skinner who many years ago gave me his scrapbooks, of which many of the early clippings come from!
