Home / Punk & New Wave / Rattus Norvegicus
A punchy debut blending punk attitude with keyboard-driven menace. Tuneful and dark. A new-wave staple. Released in 1977, it's a standout in The Stranglers's catalogue.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
