Mitch Ryder - Never Kick A Sleeping Dog (1983) [Complete Album]

One Of Our Deleted Albums Series

Mitch Ryder's Never Kick A Sleeping Dog album was produced by John Mellencamp and released in 1983 on Polygram Records, catalog number RVL 7503.

It's a very good album but, unfortunately, had poor sales and was deleted from the catalog a few years later.

The audio here was taken from a 1983 Canadian pressing of the original vinyl LP.
