Background
In the spring of 1980, guitarist and singer Hugh Cornwell was in Pentonville Prison for drugs possession. With two gigs scheduled at the London Rainbow for 3 April and 4 April, the management decided to turn things around by approaching a number of artists (including Robert Fripp, John Ellis, Toyah Willcox, Peter Hammill and Hazel O'Connor, among others) to fill in for the absent Cornwell. The Stranglers and Friends: Live in Concert chronicles this event.[4] At the time, it was planned to release a live album of the concerts, with all the proceeds going to the drug rehabilitation organisation Cure. The album never materialised as the band nearly went bankrupt shortly after the concerts, and it was forgotten about.[5]
