Prehistoric Sounds is the third album by the Australian punk rock group The Saints, released in 1978 via Harvest.

[1][2] This was the final album to feature founding lead guitarist, Ed Kuepper, who left the band shortly after its release.

[8] Hay briefly returned to Australia to join Sydney-based The Hitmen and then rejoined Bailey in London for a later version of The Saints.

[10] Clinton Walker said Prehistoric Sounds was, "an extraordinary record - one of the period's best bar none - a brooding, melancholic collision of electrically charged rock balladry and swooping, brassy arrangements.

"[11] AllMusic's Andy Kellman described the album as "the textbook by which to make a great rock record where horns play as much of a role as guitar".
