Original Italian edition on United Artists of the essential 1977 nastier second album by one of the most original and successful bands connected with punk that needs no presentation.
condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (spine and ring light wear)
With original innersleeve.
Rattus Norvegicus, the Stranglers' first album (and first of two in 1977), was hardly a punk rock classic, but it outsold every other punk album and remains a pretty good chunk of art-punk. On the other hand, No More Heroes, recorded three months later and released in September 1977, is faster, nastier, and better. At this point the Stranglers were on top of their game, and the ferocity and anger that suffuses this record would never be repeated. Hugh Cornwell's testosterone level is very high, but it's still an enjoyable bit of noise that holds up better than anyone would have guessed at the time.
