American Thighs

American Thighs is the first album by alternative rock band Veruca Salt. It was released through Minty Fresh Records on September 27, 1994, and re-released through DGC Records on November 8, 1994 (see 1994 in music). The title is a reference to a line from the AC/DC song "You Shook Me All Night Long".^[3] The songs and artwork are the same on both versions, but the DGC artwork is on glossy paper.
