(1966)

"I Fought the Law" was the second and final album by The Bobby Fuller Four. It was released by Mustang Records in February 1966 in stereo and mono. Its title comes from the title track, “I Fought the Law,” which had recently become a hit single for the group.

The album was released as a response to “I Fought the Law”’s impressive chart performance, featuring a re-recorded version of the song on stereo copies of the album. In addition, the album recycles seven songs from the previous album, including the band’s previous hit single, “Let Her Dance” and “I Fought the Law”’s B-side, “Little Annie Lou.” Many songs are also reworkings of older songs recorded by Bobby Fuller in his home studio in El Paso, including “I Fought the Law.” “Julie” and “Only When I Dream” are new songs.
