1978 Autographed Black And White Album

A UK pressing of The Stranglers' third studio album Black and White, autographed across the front cover by the band's classic lineup — Hugh Cornwell, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Dave Greenfield, and Jet Black, each signing in blue ballpoint pen. The record was released on United Artists in May 1978 and reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart, consolidating the band's space within the late-Seventies UK scene as a group that sat at angles to punk's three-chord orthodoxy: Greenfield's keyboard-heavy arrangements and Burnel's lead-melodic bass pulling the music toward a darker, more compositional register, with the writing reaching for the lyrically complex. A complete four-signature artifact from the band's classic-lineup era.
