The Early Years '74 '75 '76 Rare Live and Unreleased is a mish-mash of early live and demo recordings by The Stranglers. As can be imagined, given the age of these recordings and that the best recording equipment was probably not available, the sound quality is fairly poor; however, this material stands as a rare (and welcome) insight into the band's evolution. In addition to the CD release, a limited-edition double LP in coloured vinyl was produced. The 1974 demo tracks feature Hans Wärmling on keyboards.
