Cheap Trick is the debut studio album by the American rock band Cheap Trick. It was released in 1977 and produced by Jack Douglas, who is a frequent collaborator of the band and known for his work with Aerosmith. The record remains a cornerstone of American rock and roll, capturing a raw, almost menacing edge that distinguished the band from their more polished contemporaries. The album features the more popular songs He’s a Whore, Elo Kiddies and Oh, Candy and entered the Billboard 200 in the United States, marking Cheap Trick's first appearance on the national album chart. It gave the band early visibility and positioned them within the broader rock landscape of the late 1970s. Over time, the album has come to be viewed as the starting point of the band’s recorded catalogue. Cheap Trick is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on 180 gram silver coloured vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics.
