Foghat Foghat: AS 40 Series

Foghat's 1972 Self-Titled Album Reissued for the AS 40 Series on Hybrid Stereo SACD: Mastered to DSD from the Original Analog Master Tape

Released in 1972, Foghat introduced a sound built for the open road and the turntable alike — raucous, blues-drenched, high-octane rock with the volume knob always begging for "a little more."

Featuring former Savoy Brown guitarist and vocalist "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, Foghat took the raw spirit of the British blues boom and cranked it into something leaner, louder, and ready for the FM era.

From the thunderous opener "I Just Want to Make Love to You" to the heavy shuffle of "Trouble, Trouble" and the swaggering "Fool's Hall of Fame," this album cemented Foghat's reputation for tight grooves, searing guitar tone, and unapologetic energy. It's the record that laid the groundwork for the arena-conquering hits that would follow — and it still sounds like a full-throttle good time.

This Hybrid SACD was mastered to DSD from the original analog tape, and delivers rich bass and high fidelity. The guitars roar, the drums snap, and the band's signature boogie swings with warmth and drive.

Whether you're rediscovering the dawn of Foghat's legacy or spinning it for the first time, this disc captures exactly what made early-'70s rock electric.
