''Black and White'' is the third studio album by English new wave band The Stranglers. It was released on 12 May 1978, through record label United Artists. ==Background== As with The Stranglers' first two albums, ''Black and White'' was produced by Martin Rushent. The album sees The Stranglers adopting a more experimental approach to song structures and time signatures (for example, "Curfew" features 7/4 time). The band recorded a version of "Sweden" sung in Swedish, called "Sverige" and released it in Sweden. The song was partly inspired by Cornwell's PhD placement at Lund University in the mid-1970s. In an anecdote related in the Swedish online magazine, (Blaskan ), it is stated that the song was inspired by a disastrous visit to Sweden during a European tour, when a gig was violently interrupted by a gang of "raggare" (greasers).〔"I huvudet på en gammal punkare", 2006 article in online Swedish magazine, Blaskan | http://www.blaskan.nu/Blaskan/Nummer44/Punkspecial/i_huvudet_pa_en_gammal_punkare_capo.html〕 The song title "Death and Night and Blood" is taken from a line from Yukio Mishima's novel ''Confessions of a Mask''. The song "In the Shadows" had previously been released as the B-side to the band's 1977 single "No More Heroes". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black and White (The Stranglers album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
