Malpractice is the second album by English rock band Dr. Feelgood, released in October 1975.

Malpractice saw Dr. Feelgood break into the UK Top 20, the success of the release a gauge of a change in the musical climate. With their drainpipe suits, short hair, and surly demeanour, they were as influential as any at the inception of punk rock.^[4]

The album was re-issued in August 1990 on the Grand Records label in both vinyl and CD formats.^[4]

Release[]

Malpractice reached number 17 on the UK Albums Chart in November 1975, and remained on the chart for six weeks. It was their first recording to chart, and appeared almost two years before their first single to do so on the corresponding UK Singles Chart – "Sneakin' Suspicion" (June 1977).^[5]
