Friday On My Mind is the first North American album from The Easybeats. The album was released as Good Friday in Europe, in the same month. This version omitted "Hound Dog" and replaced it with "Women" (re-titled "Make You Feel Alright (Women)") from the Australian It's 2 Easy album.^[1]

Like Good Friday, due to contract issues between United Artists Records and Albert Productions, the album was not released in the band's native Australia at the time.^[1] Friday On My Mind was later released in Australia in 1970 on the budget World Record Club label. The Australian release featured new artwork, which was a drawing of the group as they appeared during the 1969 Australian tour (including drummer Tony Cahill, who wasn’t yet a member when the album was recorded).

A 1992 Repertoire CD release, under the same title and cover art as the North American album, has the track listing of the European Good Friday album.^[2]
