Black and White is The Stranglers third studio album and was recorded within 18 months of their debut Rattus Norvegicus. Produced by Martin Rushent and engineered by Alan Winstanley, the album is divided into the black side and white side, each nominally characterised by the style and mood of the songs which they contain. This release sees The Stranglers adopting a more experimental approach to song structures and time signatures (for example, "Curfew" features the asymmetric 7/4 time).
The two-colour combination 'black and white' occurs widely both in nature and in the human-created world. The abundance of black-and-white animals is probably due to the camouflage effects of the colour combination and also its implication that the animal is poisonous and therefore dangerous if attacked. The use of the combination in man-made objects and symbols may be due to the simple fact that the heavy contrast between black and white allows any image drawn in one of these colours to stand out strongly from a background of the other.
