***** The Stranglers-- "The Chronicles Of Vladimir" *****
The Stranglers-- The Chronicles Of Vladimir:


You all know about the Stranglers' most excellent Chronicles of Vladimir, right? It is the longest-running gag in all of Music History. No-- honest, it IS. Yes, in all of Music History.


Poor, poor, DOOOOMED Vladimir. His story is truly EPIC. Spanning over thirty years, now... and SIX terrible, perilous, depraved, gruesome, and heart-rending episodes... so far.


The Chronicles Of Vladimir...

PART 1: "The strange circumstances which lead to Vladimir and Olga 'requesting' rehabilitation in a Siberian health resort as a result of stress in furthering the people's policies... or Vladimir and Olga Eat Ergot-tainted Bread:




PART 2: Vladimir and Sergei


"... That night, they came to cure Vladimir of his illness."


PART 3: Vladimir and the Beast

Vladimir is cured of his "illness," and sent to the Front of Russia's war in Afghanistan...




PART 4: Vladimir Goes to Havana

Vladimir talks the Soviet authorities into allowing him to go to Havana...

[link to www.youtube.com]


PART 5: Viva Vlad!

Vladimir is detained by the Havana police and set adrift in a small dingy.




PART 6: Vladimir and the Pearl

No description for this sad chapter...



We look forward to the next episode!

We're still allowed to laugh at the Soviets... Right?

WOW, thanks.

Been a fan since '79 but didn't know the Vladimir story was a series!

I'd only heard 'Vladimir and the Beast' which is hilarious!

When I was a kid in the 80's, I stalked the Record Store for another installment of Vlad's sad saga as a B Side, or Bonus Track for an LP.

I loves me some Stranglers.

You are MOST welcome. I was 15, and had a High School Prime Time Radio Show when I first heard "Vladimir and the Beast." Older friends laid the earier two versions on me to play on my show.. I became a VladTard immediately. Drugs, his FUCT-up sex life, War, The Camel-- Havana... What's not to love!

Best running gag EVAR!!!

I used to play 'Vlad & the Beast' on my college radio show in the 80s, I think it was the B-Side to the 'Skin Deep' 12".

One of those bands I wish I'd seen live, maybe reunion #354 will have to do someday...

I used to play Skin Deep, and follow it with "now here's the B-Side-- tell me what you think...." and play Vlad and the Beast.

Hilarity ALWAYS ensued. I'd record the reactions, and play them back on the air. Hysterical chaos kept me entertained. I was already the personae Monkeyfister by then.

I saw them play live in Washington DC-- 9:30 Club-- in the early 1990s. They are just fantastic live. Better than recorded performance, for sure.

One group I wish I was able to interview back in the day.

The bloatfly is a giant mutated blowfly. Bloatflies attack at long range peppering their prey with spine-bedecked larva launched from its abdomen. This supply of larva is seemingly inexhaustible, and unless evaded or eliminated, bloatflies will persecute an attacker relentlessly!
