London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south-east of England, at the head of its 50-mile (80 km) estuary leading to the North Sea, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. Londinium was founded by the Romans. The City of London, London's ancient core − an area of just 1.12 square miles (2.9 km2) and colloquially known as the Square Mile − retains boundaries that follow closely its medieval limits. The City of Westminster is also an Inner London borough holding city status. Greater London is governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

The Early Years '74 '75 '76 Rare Live and Unreleased is a mish-mash of early live and demo recordings by The Stranglers.

In addition to the CD release, a limited-edition double LP in coloured vinyl was produced. The 1974 demo tracks feature Hans Wärmling on keyboards.
