The sonic ramblings of the Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick dynamic duo were reinvented by The Stranglers in 1978 to devastating effect. Whether this is better than the original is a moot point. It’s an interpretation that stands on its own somewhere in pop punk Shangri La. It’s also as typical a Stranglers song as any other around that time. What stands out is Dave Greenfield’s superlative keyboard playing, JJ Burnel’s snarling bass and Hugh Cornwell’s soloing. Jet Black remains the incredibly solid drummer he always was.
