A cassette release can be expected for album releases: single releases ("Sweet Smell of Success", for instance) may also spawn a cassette version. However, this page is dedicated to those releases that have appeared on cassette tape only.

The cassette version of "Aural Sculpture" (1984, Epic, EPC 40-26220) features a computer game titled "Aural Quest". This is a text-based role-playing adventure game written for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer. The object is to travel around the world, working your way around various problems and obstacles, in search of four segments of the "Aural Sculpture" Ear. Transporting the bits back to Britain allows you to eventually reconstruct the album's signature sculpture.

The code for the game appears at the end of side two of the album, preceeded by a short introduction from Dave Greenfield.

"The 12" Tape" (1986, Epic, EPC 450128-4) is one of a series of tapes (under the same global "12" Tape" name), featuring a diverse range of artists.

The Stranglers tape contains the following tracks (all on one side, with sides one and two being identical):

European Female; Midnight Summer Dream; Skin Deep; No Mercy; Let Me Down Easy.

This particular mix of "No Mercy" is available nowhere else. This is apparently a mix which was originally rejected by the band, but mistakenly used for this tape.

"Rock 'N Roll According to the Meninblack: 20 Years of the Stranglers" is a production by Dave Mason, intended for radio broadcast. This tape, released in conjunction with SIS (but no longer in production), contains the full, 90 minute, version of this work, with none of the musical interludes common in radio interviews.
