Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2003, 'Gold' marked a significant moment for The Stranglers as their first compilation album since 1992's 'All Live and All of the Night'. At this point, the band had transitioned from their initial punk rock sound to explore new wave and more varied musical territories. This album came two years after their last studio record, 'Norfolk Coast', demonstrating a desire to celebrate their legacy while still appealing to contemporary audiences.
