The Stranglers burst onto the punk scene in 1977 with Rattus Norvegicus, their explosive debut that showcased a unique blend of aggressive punk energy and distinctive keyboard textures. Originally produced by Martin Rushent at T.W. Studios and mixed at Olympic Studios, this album delivered UK hit singles like "Peaches" and "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)" alongside standout tracks such as "Sometimes," "Goodbye Toulouse," and "Hanging Around."
This 2025 remaster presents the classic album in pristine quality as part of both UK National Album Day and US Record Store Day Black Friday celebrations. Limited to just 2400 copies for the US release, this special pressing features translucent vinyl, picture labels, and faithfully recreated packaging including the original curved-corner inner sleeve with wide angular die-cut thumb section, making it an essential acquisition for punk collectors and Stranglers enthusiasts alike.
