Mas Hysteria is the third album by rock singer and guitarist Carolyne Mas. This album was recorded live at My Father's Place, Long Island. You can download the complete tracks of the radio session (70 min) from the website of Carolyne Mas.

“ A live King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show recorded and broadcast by WLIR on August 3, 1980 was purchased by Phonogram Records in Germany to be released as an album for the exclusive purpose of promoting an upcoming 2-hour live television concert, "Rock Palast," on January 20, 1981, and a concert with The Boomtown Rats two days later. Called Mas Hysteria, the record cover was designed to look like a bootleg, and though it was originally meant strictly for promotional use, due to popular demand this 6-song "limited edition" was released and reprinted in Germany year after year. The 12:51 version of "Sittin' in the Dark" became especially popular in clubs and on radio (and still gets much airplay there today). Mas Hysteria eventually sells over 250,000 copies, ironically making it Carolyne's biggest-selling record anywhere. [1] ”
