From French 1985 documentary.

[@raveninblack]

RIP Mr Greenfield. Wonderful musician.

[@stephenvine3104]

Brilliant and beautiful piano work, love this version of a great stranglers song, and hugh cornwells voice is outstanding!!

[@casapelicanbbandcookingsch5269]

Hugh had such a great voice. Sigh.

[@CatoMinor]

Classically trained outstanding pianist: Mr Dave Greenfield, now playing in Heaven and delighting God and Angels around.

[@michaelhart7569]

Amen. Like The Doors, you knew who the band was once you heard the keyboards.

Get a grip. Do you have any idea on what you just thought/typed??

[@peterkin1010]

@@tfr128 it's a figure of speech. I'm a Christian and don't really see any intentional blasphemy here. I have an ex Pastor who was really sore about Harry Secombe song 'If I ruled the world' terming it 'extreme blasphemy ' Almighty God has musicians in heaven and Satan was actually one of them .

[@cathalsweeney6]

dosent the bass player come from a jazz background?

Poor old Dave....He was the best, makes me well up listening to this 😥

Great to see and hear this. Dave's playing is gorgeous.

A punk band with a classical pianist.... magic!

HUGH...Voice of an angel

JJ looks so young! RIP Dave :(

[@johnnyM809]

My favourite Stranglers song...absolutely brilliant.

[@dlamiss]

Yep they made some crackers but this is JUST ABOUT their best tune

[@vince1103]

Great download. This cut down version highlights how skilled Dave was.

Outstanding in black! RIP, Dave

Great lyrics and brilliant music

Beautifully sung.

Utter brilliance.

[@Auntkekebaby]

Lovely version. It's a personal song for me. Striped down, you can hear that it's a solid song.

[@fluorosco]

This is genius

[@Hofnerrazor]

best version I've heard just beautiful.

[@schinaro]

Awww Dave thank you for the years of bliss.

[@paulkielty3800]

Just a great band ,first head them when I was 15 and I’m a fair bit older now still listening.

[@bpinkhof]

wonderlijk, from Belgium, heel mooi, extremely beautiful, a jewel of a song

[@TheGwimWeaper]

Rest in peace Dave.

[@DaveInBridport]

Hugh has a great voice

[@desohara7466]

Beautiful.

[@johnalanramsden7967]

Proves how great he was at playing any keyboard.

[@StrawberrySunday212]

His Harpsicord on Golden Brown told us that

[@Chrisamusic1]

Dave didn't need to prove anything to anybody.

[@daleclarkomagickdog3738]

Beautiful

[@StrawberrySunday212]

The most under-rated keyboard player, ever. Mr Dave Greenfield.

[@undergroundwarrior70]

That was a whole different direction for The Strangers with Hugh Cornwell, J. J. Burnel and Dave Greenfield. Very cool, relaxing and mellow.

[@jasmineblack9778]

wish they would remaster this onto dvd/bluray

[@aidanbrennan6587]

A great song by a great band.A pity JJ's bass play is so low here I can hardly hear it.RIP Dave.A big loss to us all but will never be forgotten.💔

[@NessieJapan]

Ironically, the bass was pumped up a bit much on the first three albums.

[@SK-sm9mn]

@@NessieJapan Couldn’t disagree more. The booming bass and Dave’s keyboards were the very essence of The Stranglers

[@NessieJapan]

@@SK-sm9mn They were great sounds, but too much of a good thing. Cornwall is overlooked as a guitarist. Listen to his fills and riffs on the Raven album: The intro to The Raven and the stacatto chords on Baroque Bordello. The balance on that album is better than on the first two albums. I totally agree that the gutteral bass sound is killer, just a bit high in the mix.

[@donquixote3927]

@@NessieJapan: Odd to think that JJ was the classically trained guitarist. I too like Hugh’s quirky licks but it’s only because he was in the band first that he played lead.

[@NessieJapan]

@@donquixote3927 In some alternate universe, JJ played guitar.

Thanks for posting 💙

[@waynesadleruk]

You're welcome.

[@arthurjacksparrow5733]

Daves keyboards & burnels fantastic bass... what a combo... they really made that Stranglers sound so distinctive. Just brilliant. Only slight negative is JJ should defo have sung lead vocals on more tracks

[@intheshadows..2107]

Weepingly beautiful.

[@bildusjonda4273]

Fantastique.

[@timbayliss4153]

This song, along with Golden Brown and Paradise, made the Stranglers more popular, being on the cusp of the real synth New Wave bands, and Punk.

you damn right.

[@grahamelliott7276]

Never seen this before. Did Jet get the day off ? Or maybe he filmed it.

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

Agree with all the comments, great singing, amazing piano work by Dave (RIP), by the way wasn't this song written/co written with original keyboard player Hans Warmling (also RIP) ?

[@80ssynthfan48]

Yes it was. It was offered to EMI in about 1975 but rejected, but ironically it became their last single before finishing with EMI.

[@devillehall6171]

The Stranglers = Hugh + Dave

They were better off without Hugh

[@Teeb2023]

...+ JJ + Jet 🙄

Tidy !

Hugh Cornwell is an ideał man😊

Many fair headed maidens out there...but he didn't take no wife ;) (Ref to recent solo single) :)

PS i believe this is on a B side and or a rarities disc? Am I correct?

No - it's not available as a recording.
