Local &/or General is the second studio album by Australian new wave rock band Models, which peaked at #30 on the Australian albums chart. It was released in October 1981 on Mushroom Records with Stephen W Tayler producing.
Early in 1981, Janis Friedenfelds was replaced on drums by Mark Hough (a.k.a. Buster Stiggs) from New Zealand band The Swingers. Prior to flying to the United Kingdom to record Local &/Or General, Models had made some demo recordings, which proved successful enough to be released as an EP, Cut Lunch in June. One track, "Man o' Action", from that EP was re-recorded for Local &/or General. The album provided two singles, "Local and/or General" in November and "Unhappy" in 1982, neither peaked into the Australian Top 50 singles chart.
