I Fought the Law is the second and final studio album by The Bobby Fuller Four. It was released by Mustang Records in February 1966 in stereo and mono. Its title comes from the title track, "I Fought the Law", which had recently become a hit single for the group.
Contents
The album was released as a response to "I Fought the Law"'s impressive chart performance, featuring a re-recorded version of the song on stereo copies of the album. In addition, the album recycles seven songs from the previous album KRLA King of the Wheels, including the band's previous hit single, "Let Her Dance" and "I Fought the Law"'s B-side, "Little Annie Lou". Many songs are also reworkings of older songs recorded by Bobby Fuller in his home studio in El Paso, including "I Fought the Law", "Julie" and "Only When I Dream" are new songs. "She's My Girl" is listed on the front cover but does not appear on this album as it did on the first.
I Fought The Law became the group's only Billboard charted album, peaking at #144 in April 1966.
