The Stranglers muziek cassette 10 total 10 tracks dolby rare

Since the stranglers last album dreamtime, released in october 1986, the band had toured extensively until the end of 1987, released the 1987 singleall day and all of the night;, and the 1988 live album all live and all of the night. The band had begun recording 10 in bassist jean-jacques burnel;s newly built 16-track home studio in cambridgeshire in 1988. By 1989, with help from local engineer owen morris, the band had recorded around 20 tracks which they delivered to their label cbs/epic for a late 1989 release.


The labels a and r man muff winwood, however, was unhappy with the production and suggested re-recording the album with producer roy thomas baker, aiming for the american market.according to hugh cornwell in his 2001 book the stranglers: song by song, the band had never heard of baker before but were told he had produced various successful queen albums. ;roy was sold to us on the basis that he could produce the sound that the americans wanted,; cornwell said.



The album was recorded in autumn 1989 at wisseloord studios in the netherlands.to achieve a bigger sound on the album, baker would multi-track cornwells guitars. whenever i had a guitar part, roy would make me play it 22 times and record it on separate tracks,; cornwell said. ;he;d then mix it all down to stereo and it would sound immense with 22 guitars all playing the same part; at the suggestion of baker, the band also recorded a cover of ;96 tears; for the album. The spoken section on let;s celebrate; is read by baker;s wife, tere.


Despite the albums american-friendly sound and the moderate success of ;sweet smell of success; in the united states (reaching no. 5 On the us modern rock chart), the band did not undertake a us tour. Cornwell, feeling the band had come to a halt in their artistic evolution, decided to leave the band following the last gig on the supporting tour.
