The original USA Limited Edition 4 song EP release that came with Stranglers IV in America
Vinyl Excellent play tested great both sides.
The Raven LP wasn't released in the US and Canada in 1979. On the US tour in 1978 Hugh usually slagged off the American audiences.
In San Francisco before they played Tank, he asked, "Is anyone here in the American army? Do you know how to kill people? Good.
This one is for you!" When it came to The Raven release in 1979 the record companies didn't want to know the band.
The US hadn't woken up to the punk ethos and never really did, so this backfired on the Stranglers commercially.
It wasn't their fault, they were bringing the UK scene to the US.
Anyway instead the 'IV' album was released a year later, a selection of Raven tracks and an unusual combination of other unassociated tracks.
