Talk:Black and White (The Stranglers album)

Walk On By
I remember hearing Burt Bacharach in an interview on Radio 2 back in the eighties saying that he thought the Stranglers' version of Walk On By was the best cover version of one of his and David's songs that he'd heard. Whether he was just saying this or not I don't know! Ian Dunster 11:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Just like to add I think it is one of the finest album covers of that era.

No. 2 in the UK, and 18 weeks. Yeah, really?
It says that here about Black and White. It says the exact same thing about No More Heroes. Neither case is cited.

That could even be a case of cloning one article to start a fresh one, then forgetting to adjust that sentence.

In fact both albums reached #2 on the UK charts. Not a staggering coincidence for a band with 2 top ten singles in '77 or '78 or both.

Alternative Track Order on some CDs
My CD (UK edition) has a different track order from the original vinyl insofar as Sweden and ''Hey! (Rise of The Robots) have swapped places and In The Shadows follows Threatened''. It also has 2 extra tracks, Mean To Me and Walk On By as the last 2. I presume this was accidental as the remaster restores them to the original order. I don't know how common the alternative order was or if it's worth a mention?85.210.120.110 (talk) 00:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Track Nos.
Both "Toiler on the Sea" and "Curfew" are track n. 7.

If we change the track numbers of "Curfew" and the following songs, would the personnel details remain the same?


 * Jean-Jacques Burnel – bass guitar, lead and backing vocals (lead vocals on 7, 8, 10 and "Shut Up")
 * Dave Greenfield – keyboards (Hammond L100 Organ, Hohner Cembalet electric piano, Minimoog synthesizer), lead and backing vocals (lead vocals on 9)
