The American in Me is a compilation album by the Avengers. It was released on April 20, 2004, on DBK Works. The album is composed of four studio recordings from 1978 and a live concert recorded at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, CA on June 13, 1979. The concert was previously released on Zero Hour one year earlier.

PopMatters noted, "This release collects unearthed studio work, including alternate takes of the Steve Jones sessions, and a crystal clear live show at the Old Waldorf in ’79, when the band were three shows away from their end." ^[1]
