Album Seven by Rick is the seventh album by rock and roll and pop idol Rick Nelson, released in March 1962 by Imperial Records.[1] This was his final LP for the label. The album was entirely recorded in Los Angeles, California, at United Western Recorders studios. It featured Nelson's usual group of songwriters, including Jerry Fuller.[2] Jimmie Haskell was the arranger and Charles "Bud" Dant produced the album.

The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the issue dated April 14, 1962, and remained on the chart for 20 weeks, peaking at number 27.[3] It reached No. 31 on the Cashbox albums chart where it stayed there for 10 weeks[4]

The album was released on compact disc by Beat Goes On on January 30, 2001, as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one disc with tracks 13 through 24 consisting of Nelson's 1963 compilation album, It's Up to You.[5] It was also released as one of two albums on one CD by Capitol Records on June 19, 2001, with the other album being Nelson's 1960 EP, Ricky Sings Spirituals.[6]
