On the Rocks is an album by the Byron Band, taking its name from their singer, British rock vocalist David Byron.
Despite featuring Byron and lauded guitarist Robin George the album didn't achieve commercial success.
The original UK vinyl release, on Creole Records, came with a poster of the sleeve's artwork.
It was first issued on CD in 1996, by the German specialist label Repertoire (Repertoire REP 431). This now-deleted edition had bonus tracks, as detailed below. For completists, the CD inlay-tray was cream in colour.
The album was re-released on CD in 2010, by Angel Air Records.
