Original UK pressing of ‘Teenage Depression’ by Eddie and the Hot Rods, released in 1976 on Island Records. Widely regarded as one of the key records bridging pub rock and the emerging punk movement, this debut album captures the raw, energetic sound that made the band one of the most exciting live acts in Britain during the mid-1970s.
Fronted by Barrie Masters, Eddie and the Hot Rods delivered a hard-driving mix of pub rock, proto-punk and power pop, and ‘Teenage Depression’ remains their best-known studio release. The album includes standout tracks such as ‘Teenage Depression’, ‘Get Across To You’, ‘Horseplay’, ‘Why Can’t It Be?’ and a version of The Who’s ‘The Kids Are Alright’.
This copy appears to be an original UK pressing and would make a strong addition for collectors of punk precursors, pub rock, and classic British 1970s vinyl.
