Where the Groupies Killed the Blues is the second album by progressive rock band Lucifer's Friend, released in 1972. On this album the band continues to have a Black Sabbath-like sound, most notably on "Prince of Darkness", but with a more Prog. feel. Piano is prominent on most songs, and organ is used only on a few songs such as "Where the Groupies Killed the Blues", whereas on the debut album, Lucifer's Friend, organ and guitars had been the driving force.
In the U.S., the band's U.S. label (Billingsgate Records) did not release this album although Billingsgate did issue the followup album, I'm Just a Rock & Roll Singer. The U.S. release of Groupies was delayed three years until the band's new label Passport Records released it.
