While his quirkier follow-up 1971 album Minnows is my favorite, this is still a great blues album.

Here's a hasty list for #5debutalbums7074. Lots of chancers included, but Lennon, Roxy, Eno, Ferry, Betty Davis, Fotheringay, and Bill Withers are most likely going to be battling for the top five. Lots of fun to come, @richards7370.bsky.social!

Syd Barrett - "The Madcap Laughs"
1970
For some reason, I always thought the other album he released this year, "Barrett" was his debut, but I was wrong. Definitely a 1 of 1 artist. Great album.

Curious if anyone knows about this band, Swings. It's in the camp of bands Idaho, Karate, Pile. It's a bit of jazzier slowcore, a touch of emo and post-rock.
