The tenth studio album from The Stranglers was called 10 and was the last with Hugh Cornwell. The album was released in 1990. There is a definite "big-band" sound to this album, most likely due to the production work of Roy Thomas Baker and the continued use of a horn section. A very up-beat album, one of the highlights is the Question Mark & the Mysterians hit 96 Tears. The album sleeve shows the members of the band dressed up as 10 of the most powerful world leaders of the time (L-R Yasser Arafat, Rajiv Gandhi, Pope John Paul II, Mikhael Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, George H. W. Bush, Fidel Castro, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Benazir Bhutto, Joshua Nkomo)

The live set at this time included the addition of John Ellis on guitar.

This album reached No 15 on UK Album charts.
