Engine is the second album by American Music Club. It was jointly released by Frontier and Grifter in the US in 1987, then by Zippo in the UK and Europe in 1990. The 1998 Warner Bros. Records reissue added three additional tracks from the same period. The artwork for the Zippo UK release features an incorrect tracklisting, putting the songs in the wrong order.
