It’s A Jungle Out There is the first album by Mastedon, the studio project formed by brothers John & Dino Elefante. It was released in 1989 on Regency Records, while they were setting up their own label “Pakaderm Records”. Long out-of-print, it was re-issued by Deep Music Distribution in 2006 in the form of digital downloads, available from iTunes and eMusic.
The album was re-issued by Italian label Frontiers Records on November 6, 2009, with three additional tracks: a Mastedon song from 1987’s California Metal compilation, “Wasn’t It Love”, and two live songs from the Cornerstone Festival in 1991, “Islands in the Sky” and “Right Hand”.
