Superdrag chronology
Regretfully Yours (1996) Head Trip in Every Key (1998) Stereo "360 Sound" (1998)

Head Trip in Every Key is the thirteen-song album released by Superdrag on Elektra Records in 1998. It is the follow-up to 1996's success, Regretfully Yours. Elektra did not expect the fully orchestrated "Beatlesque" sound the band conveyed on this album. Elektra then focused its attention and funding on other bands in its roster. Head Trip in Every Key received very little publicity, and therefore sold poorly, subsequently causing Elektra to drop Superdrag from the label. Head Trip in Every Key is believed by many dedicated fans to be Superdrag's best album.
