Robert Hazard is the first EP (or mini-LP as it states on the sleeve) released by American musician Robert Hazard in June 1982 originally on his own record label "RHA Records" as Robert Hazard and the Heroes. After catching the attention of the music industry, Hazard signed for RCA Records who then remixed the album and released it nationally in late November 1982, along with removing the Heroes from the band name. There were two singles from the release, "Escalator of Life" and "Change Reaction", both of which charted in the US in 1983. The album also charted on the Billboard 200, peaking at #102.
