I've been making discs for a friend who doesn't have Internet acces or a computer (yes, those people actually do exist), therefore no access to the wonderful world of MP3s. His latest request has been a mixed Stranglers thing. He wants to call it Nice & Sleazy; one disc of the nicer songs, and another disc of, you guessed, their slightly less child-friendly pieces.

A few years ago the Stranglers released some, if not all, their albums again in remastered format. They all came with extra tracks. The Black & White album, for example, comes with a song called Tits. My friend keeps asking me which version of the album I have, and if I have that song. I swear the only reason he keeps asking me, is so he can make me say, "Yes, I have tits."
