On Friday 13 June 1997, The Stranglers staged a truly unique event. To mark the twenty first anniversary of their original recording contract with United Artists, they played to a sold out Royal Albert Hall (London, UK) with an eighteen piece string orchestra (the Electra Strings). "Friday the Thirteenth" presents part of the set (these songs, plus the remainder of the set can be found on the accompanying DVD release). As you would expect from a modern recording, the sound on this album is wonderfully clear.
