Herman Brood & His Wild Romance is an export album by Dutch rock and roll and blues group Herman Brood & His Wild Romance. Released only in the United States, it contained most of the songs from his second studio album, Shpritsz.

Some versions of the LP contained the entire 5:07 minute version of "Saturday Night." The album was a moderate success, reaching #122 on the Billboard chart for pop albums. As a result, Brood sought to open up the American market, recording the follow-up, Go Nutz, in the US.
