The Early Years '74 '75 '76 Rare Live and Unreleased is a compilation of early live and demo recordings by The Stranglers. As can be imagined, given the dates of these recordings, the sound quality is fairly poor; however, this material stands as a rare insight into the band's evolution. In addition to the CD release, a limited-edition double LP in coloured vinyl was produced. The 1974 demo tracks feature Hans Wärmling on keyboards.
