Originally released in November 1984, AURAL SCULPTURE was The STRANGLERS’ eighth studio LP and second for the Epic label.
The bonus LP on this 35th Anniversary release is another first for this series of re-issues; it being cut on STONE GREY MARBLED VINYL. Sub-titled SHROUDED IN BLACK, this references a lyric from arguably the album’s finest track, NORTH WINDS.
The whole package is contained in a wide-spine sleeve. The Ear sculpture and band logo have been picked out in spot varnish to add a new gloss to the cover. An art print of the Ear sculpture, measuring roughly 10”x10” with each one individually signed by Jet, JJ, Dave & Baz is also included.
