The Frogs is the debut album by The Frogs. It was originally released in limited quantities (only 1010 copies on black vinyl),[2] and was re-released on CD by Moikai Records in 1999.[3] The album was recorded on 8-Track at Pearl Studios in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and it took a long time to record because of the engineer's limited availability. After this album, The Frogs would release recordings made at home. This debut album gave listeners only a mere taste of the demented humor that was to follow on their second album. In 2022, an "addition" version was released onto streaming services.
