One-off collaboration for two 1980 live concerts by The Stranglers. In the spring of 1980, Hugh Cornwell was in Pentonville Prison for drug possession. With two gigs scheduled at the London Rainbow for 3 & 4 April, the management decided to turn things around by approaching a number of well-known artists to fill in for the absent Cornwell on vocals.
