Road Food is the twelfth studio album by the Canadian rock band The Guess Who, originally released in 1974 by RCA Records. It was the last album by the group to feature guitarists Kurt Winter and Donnie McDougall.
Release history
In addition to the usual 2-channel stereo version, RCA also issued the album in a 4-channel quadraphonic version on both LP and 8-track tape. The quad LP version was released using the Quadradisc system.
On the first RCA CD reissue, the two sides of the original LP were reversed, thus the album begins with side 2 and "Clap for the Wolfman", rather than side 1 and "Star Baby".
In 2012, the album was reissued on CD by RCA/Iconolassic with 2 bonus tracks.
In 2018, the album was reissued again in the UK by Dutton Vocalion on the Super Audio CD format. This disc is a 2 albums on 1 disc compilation which also contains the 1973 album #10. The Dutton Vocalion release contains the complete stereo and quadraphonic versions of both albums.
