[Poetic Justice]

Not their 'debut' album as such but I always thought The Dam at Otter Creek by Live was an awesome one.

 

[No eye deer]

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

 

[HalloweenJack]

T.V Eye is the opening song from the original release of Radios Appear in Australia by Radio Birdman. "What gives" was the opening track from the overseas release and "Aloha Steve & Danno" from the much later remastered album. I love that the Birdman did a Stooges cover. Awesome.
