The Stranglers: Hope & Anchor


This is the entire Stranglers' (more here) set from the opening night at the Hope & Anchor's Front Row Festival (the compilation album is here) back in 1977 .



This loud, raw, gritty, ugly and foul-mouthed recording wasn't released till 1992 but then fell out-of-print and now fetches Peachy money on eBay, Amazon et al.


Comments on this rare Stranglers bonanza, are most welcome!

    Hey Jeffen

    I got this off you a year or two ago.Excellent.You also posted the highly recommended 'Hope&Anchor Front Row Festival Live' around the same time.

    If anybody has '20 Of Another Kind' and/or '20 of Another Kind Vol. 2' that would be fine.They would be vinyl rips.
