Force Fed is the debut album by the American band Prong,[2][3] initially released only in Europe in 1988 by Spigot Records. It was recorded around the same time as their 1987 EP Primitive Origins, and was not released in the United States until 1989 through In-Effect/Relativity Records, whose parent company Epic Records subsequently signed the band.[4] Drummer Ted Parsons co-wrote some songs with Prong for the first time on this album.
The song "Bought and Sold" was not included on the original vinyl release, and is omitted from some CD versions of the album, including the reissue. Instead, these versions include two bonus tracks, the cover of Chrome's "Third from the Sun" and "Mind the Gap", originally taken from Prong's 1989 EP Third from the Sun (also known as 3). Although the EP is no longer available, Prong still regularly performs "Third from the Sun".
