"Rock Drill" is the last studio album by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. It was released in 1978. It was also the last album to feature Alex Harvey. The album was released separately on CD, but it is hard to find, however the album is widely available on a 2 in 1 album, the other album being "SAHB Stories". This album originally featured a track called "No Complaints Department", but it was later pulled out before the album was released, a German CD reissue featured the track, but the track was later pulled out on that as well. To view the remastered version, see SAHB Stories & Rock Drill.
