BG Rock is the first solo album by the Bulgarian rock musician Georgi Minchev, released in 1987[1] by the state-owned record company Balkanton.[2] The producers were the well known Bulgarian musicians Petar Slavov and Ivaylo Kraychovski.[2]

The album was originally released on Cassette and Vinyl LP. In 1997, it was re-released on CD format together with the Minchev's second LP Rock'n'Roll Veterans (1989).[1] Most of the songs obtained wide popularity and became classic hits of the Bulgarian rock music genre,[1] most notably "The Bulgarian Rock", "We, The Musicians", "Almost Midnight" and "The Singer's Song".

Despite the fact that Georgi Minchev started his career in the 1960s, he managed to release his first LP not until 1987 because of the artist's constant clash with the local communist authority.
