Kingfish (1985 album)

Kingfish is an album by the rock band Kingfish. It contains previously unreleased tracks that were recorded at various times during the band's first eight years, and is sometimes referred to as Kingfish (1973–80). Released by Relix Records as a vinyl LP in 1985, side one was recorded in the studio, and side two was recorded live. It was released on CD in 1991.

Kingfish is not to be confused with the band's 1976 debut album, which is also titled Kingfish.
