"1977" is Ash's 2nd album, their debut was called "Trailer".

Nope - 'Trailer' was a singles compilation, not an album!

Think Trailer was a sort-of mini-album. Sounds like a cool gig, but why are they only doing London? yet again, music fans north of the border are missing out!

I think Trailer wasn't a proper album, but a compilation of their first singles. So it's technically the first album they released but the first "real" album was 1977.

Ah, all you young'uns...Trailer wasn't a singles compilation, just a mini album. It spawned three singles, the debut: Jack Names The Planets, and also Petrol and Uncle Pat. Whilst some bands might showcase a mini-album which contains their first singles and the b-sides from them (Midget, Lemon Jelly, etc) this is not the case here. It's an awesome mini-album, and everyone should own it! NME have it right though I think, mini-albums shouldn't class as a band's debut, as they are more like EPs than albums, more of a showcase of their style rather than a hard grafted well produced long-player, like 1977. (Although Jamie Fullerton: don't you work for NME...?) Awesome album, can't wait for the show!!
