The Undertones is the 1979 debut album by The Undertones. The album was recorded at Eden Studios in London in early 1979 and initially released in May that year. The original release included just one single release: 'Jimmy Jimmy' and an album version of 'Here Comes The Summer', which was never released as a single.
The re-released version, issued in October, 1979, contained both 'Jimmy Jimmy', 'Teenage Kicks', 'Get Over You' and the single version of 'Here Comes The Summer', which superseded the slower, original version of the song. In addition, the song 'Casbah Rock' was included as the final track of the album.
In 2000 Q magazine placed it at number 90 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. It was also listed in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" which was selected and written by 90 leading international critics.
As of July, 2009 the eponymous debut album of The Undertones is still considered to be one of the Top 40 Punk/New Wave albums of all time.
