The Angels discography
The Australian hard rock band, the Angels, have released thirteen studio albums, three live albums, six extended plays and forty-eight singles. The Angels were formed in Adelaide in 1974 by the Brewster brothers, John and Rick, together with Bernard "Doc" Neeson. The line-up of the band has since gone through numerous changes with Rick as the mainstay member. They are known as Angel City internationally (to avoid confusion with now defunct 70's glamsters Angel) and later albums were released as The Angels from Angel City. The Band always hated the international names. Not all albums are available internationally and the ones that have been released generally have a different track listing and often an altered album cover from the original Australian releases.
