The Fabulous 8-Track Sound of Superdrag is a seven-song EP from Superdrag released by Darla Records in 1995. This EP—Superdrag's first—demonstrated many of the stylistic traits typical of the band throughout its existence, including heavily distorted and often simple guitar work, bass guitar lines which convey the instrumental melody (as in "Really Thru" and "Load"), long periods where one or more instruments are either largely idle or absent ("Bloody Hell" and "Load"), and extensive use of vocal harmonies ("Sugar", "Really Thru", and "Load").

Head Trip in Every Key is the thirteen-song album released by Superdrag on Elektra Records in 1998. It is the follow-up to 1996's success, Regretfully Yours. Elektra did not expect the fully orchestrated "Beatlesque" sound the band conveyed on this album. Elektra then focused its attention and funding on other bands in its roster. Head Trip in Every Key received very little publicity, and therefore sold poorly, subsequently causing Elektra to drop Superdrag from the label. Head Trip in Every Key is believed by many dedicated fans to be Superdrag's best album.
