Black and White

"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. The first 75,000 LPs came with a free white vinyl 7" composed of three tracks: "Walk On By" (a cover of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David song written for and originally recorded by Dionne Warwick), "Mean to Me" and "Tits". The US version of the album, on the A&M label, was pressed on black and white marbled vinyl, but came without the three-track single. Singles released from the album were "Nice 'n' Sleazy", b/w "Shut Up", and "Walk On By", b/w "Tank" and "Old Codger". "Old Codger" featured a guest vocal from jazz singer George Melly. An edited version of "Walk On By" with "Tank" was also pressed as a double A-side radio-play single. Most of these tracks were included in the remastered 2001 CD re-issue of the album.
