Hugh sets the record straight

As a long time Stranglers fan, I was overjoyed when I found this book - and I was not disappointed. Not surprisingly, Hugh Cornwell turns out to to be a more than decent writer, with effortlessly flowing prose and acute, often hilarious observations. Being a Stranglers fan, the period in the band was the most interesting to me, but others may find other parts equally interesting.

There was always a feeling that Cornwell was the brains of the Stranglers (especially when listening to the band's post-Cornwell output). This is corroborated by his (albeit biased) account of the band's story (as part of his own). Unlike the remains of the band, Cornwell bears no rancor after the split, and seems honestly puzzled by the others' attitude.

A must for any hard-core Stranglers/Hugh Cornwell fan.
