Rattus Norvegicus is the debut studio album by the English punk rock band The Stranglers, released in 1977 on United Artists Records. This iconic LP features a raw and energetic sound that helped define the UK punk scene with standout tracks like "Peaches," "Hanging Around," and "Down in the Sewer." Produced by Martin Rushent, the album was recorded at T.W. Studios in Fulham, capturing the gritty essence and rebellious spirit of the era.
This pressing is a classic 12-inch vinyl LP spinning at 33 RPM, housed in a cardboard sleeve featuring the original striking artwork-a moody photo of the band surrounded by mounted animal heads with the vibrant red and black rat silhouette on the back. The catalog number UALA-757G is clearly visible on both the record label and the back sleeve. The vinyl is standard black with no visible special coloration or weight indicated. This edition is an original 1977 pressing from United Artists, making it a sought-after collectible for punk enthusiasts and vinyl collectors alike.
Collectors will appreciate the inclusion of the full tracklist, detailed production credits, and the classic United Artists label on the vinyl. The album embodies the raw, confrontational style The Stranglers became known for, blending punk, new wave, and a touch of pub rock. An essential addition for fans of 70s punk and British rock history.
