Product Description
In celebration of a remarkable band, Parlophone Records and Warner Music are proud to announce a career-spanning box-set from The Stranglers. Marking their 40thAnniversary ‘Giants And Gems: An Album Collection’ is an 11-disc anthology which includes eight studio albums from the band’s UA/Liberty years (1977-86) plus the 1977 set ‘Live At The Hope And Anchor’, the rarities collection ‘Off The Beaten Track’, and The Stranglers’ two most recent albums, ‘Suite XVI’ (2006) and the hugely acclaimed ‘Giants’ (2012).

Since forming in 1974, The Stranglers have enjoyed huge success worldwide including 23 Top 40 hits singles and 17 Top 40 studio albums in the UK alone. ‘Giants And Gems: An Album Collection’ contains many of the greatest milestones in the band’s career such as their notorious debut album ‘Rattus Norvegicus’, and the legendary hits ‘Peaches’, ‘Hanging Around’, ‘(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)’, ‘Something Better Change’, ‘No More Heroes’, ‘Nice ‘N’ Sleazy’, ‘Walk On By’, ‘Duchess’, ‘Nuclear Device’, ‘Golden Brown’, ‘La Folie’ and ‘Strange Little Girl’. Full details and tracklisting is below.

Ahead of the release of the box-set, The Stranglers set out on the UK-leg of their ‘Ruby Anniversary World Tour’, playing 22 shows starting in Inverness on February 27th and including a return to Hammersmith Apollo, where they have played many of their most infamous gigs, including their first visit there in 1976, a sold-out performance before they had even released their debut album. The Ruby Tour will feature the band playing tracks from all 17 of their studio albums each night, with an ever-changing setlist ensuring fans will get to hear long-lost gems as well as firm favourites.

These shows, and the ensuing ‘Giants And Gems: An Album Collection’, will demonstrate why The Stranglers became figureheads of punk and then transcended genres to become one of the most revered alternative bands of the last four decades.
