Migration is the third studio album by The Amboy Dukes. It was released in 1969 on Mainstream Records (stereo S/6118). On this album, Rusty Day replaced John Drake on vocals and guitarist Ted Nugent, for the first time, took lead vocals on select tracks. The song "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent" is a cover of the 1956 song by Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers.

A CD reissue was released in 1991 by Repertoire Records with two bonus tracks (REP 4178-WZ). It credits the band as "The American Amboy Dukes", the name under which the group's records were released in Britain. This CD features an edited version of 'Prodigal Man' ( bass and organ solo removed) and not the full version from the original LP. (In fact, the full version has yet to see a CD release.) There are 2 LP versions of 'Prodigal Man' digitally released. The original LP version (8:40) - drum solo, bass solo, organ solo and guitar solo and a new arrangement (8:40) - organ solo, drum solo, bass solo and guitar solo.
