Sweet Smell Of Success - The Best Of The Epic Years by The Stranglers - Uhune

COMPILATION

Fans of the Stranglers' melodic and moody post-punk sound are recommended toward the excellent Best of the Epic Years, which spotlights the group's mellow later incarnation; tracks like "Skin Deep," "Always the Sun," "No Mercy" and "Paradise" are presented here in their original seven-inch edits. ~ Jason Ankeny
