Cheers. BTW I’m on hols with no access to albums so to refresh my memory I looked debut albums up on the net. AI told me that Bowie’s Let’s Dance and the Clash’s London Calling were debut albums?!? I do hope youngsters in college aren’t relying on AI for essays if that’s the quality of answers! 😱

Hi @richards7370.bsky.social - this is going to be a tough one. Not least with this. I need official clarification: The Style Council released ‘Introducing’ in 1983 as a mini album comp but many believe their debut album proper is Cafe Bleu (1984). Which one will be accepted? #5debutalbums8084

The Futureheads!

My first thought for #5debutalbums0004 is this. An artist sadly missed.
