Box Of Frogs discography
(w/John Fiddler)

In 1982 former Yardbirds members Chris Dreja, Jim McCarty and Paul Samwell-Smith asked John Fiddler to front their new band Box Of Frogs. The band released two albums, with guest guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Steve Hackett, Rory Gallagher - and Ray Majors!

This discography details Box Of Frogs albums and singles from all over the world. I am always looking to add more worldwide pressings, so get in touch if you can help! Quick links:
