617
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Mad Dog's 1977 debut 617 captures raw, straightforward American rock from Fish Head Records, a legendary independent label. The record emerges from the classic rock tradition but feels urgent and unpolished in a way that suggests genuine creative appetite rather than commercial ambition. The production is lean, letting the band's musicianship and direct songwriting carry the weight. Classic rock sensibility—guitar-driven, rhythmically straightforward, focused on memorable hooks and genuine emotional communication. This is a genuinely scarce pressing from the Fish Head Records catalog, increasingly difficult to find. A must-have for collectors of underground American rock from the pre-punk/post-prog era.
