Stranglers in the Night opened the recording career of the Stranglers MK II with Paul Roberts on vocals and John Ellis. It was also the first release on the band's own record label, "Psycho", in 1992. The band returned to a purer, less "produced" sound; the horns have departed and the songs have a less-constrained, harder edge. Styles vary from ballads such as "Southern Mountains" and "Grand Canyon" to the fast-paced "Sugar Bullets" and "Brainbox". The North American version of this album (with a white, rather than dark gray, cover) contains three extra tracks ("Coffee Shop", "Vicious Circles" and "So Uncool"), which were originally B-sides in Britain. The Album peaked at #33 in the U.K. Charts in September 1992. The single 'Heaven And Hell' was released from the album but could only chart at #46 in August 1992. The follow up single 'Sugar Bullets' failed to chart. LIMITED EDITION of ONLY 300.
