Live at the Hope and Anchor is an album by The Stranglers: an entire set from a concert in this North London pub-venue, on 22 November, 1977. This particular concert took place on the opening night of the "Front Row Festival", consisting of shows by bands regular to the venue during 1977. It was originally only available as a bootleg recording. The song "Tits" featured on the white EP that was given away free with the first 75000 copies of The Black and White Album in 1978. "Hanging Around" and "Straighten Out" were included on the "Front Row Festival" dbl album, released in 1978. Many of the songs in the band's set that night were played by request; for this show, they rehearsed their entire catalogue.
It is regarded as one of the band's more memorable shows. In 1992 the whole concert received an official release, produced by bassist/vocalist J J Burnel.
