On the Strength is the second and final studio album by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

Released in 1988, it was the full line-up's last album together.

Although contributing to the album itself, Cowboy (Keith Wiggins) was not present for the album or single photo shoots.

[3][4] The album was reissued in the US on CD in 2005 (Collectors' Choice Music, CCM-585-2) but once again (see Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang) omitted the bonus track (*) that was originally included on both the original CD and cassette versions of the album.
