Fishbone Discography

Albums, Singles and Promos

This portion of the discography contains information on all of the albmus, singles, and promotional material Fishbone has done.

The discography that some of this information came from was originally written on 11/4/92 by:
Loring Holden
Yvan Jacquet
and Chuck Tomlinson.

Since it had not been updated in several years, I picked it up in 1995 and have made several changes to the original discography. It is currently kept up by, me, Chris Schatz, cschatz@efn.org


NOTE: country of origin is USA if not mentioned, unseen means unseen by anyone I've talked to..

Lyin' Ass Bitch

This LP has never been pressed in Europe, and you could not find the US one here (Europe) anymore.-Yvan



And I got the first FISHBONE LP on CD from Japan. Same tracks but includes lyrics booklet in Japanese and American. But it's funny coz there are a lot of mistakes in the lyrics and a lot of left blank parts. It looks like they listened to the songs and try to write down lyrics from what they could get.

Fishbone (European)
(LP? 455517-1) Holland - CBS
Columbia 1989

Contains all the tracks from In Your Face & It's a Wonderful Life

I think this one has been released because it's quite impossible to find the two mentioned records around here. It's all previously released material but the cover is really great, it shows a real fishbone with a fork and a knife and when you move the sleeve under the light, you can see the complete fish appearing dueto a slight difference in the texture of the sleeve. -Yvan
