Blowin' Off by ABOW
The first album, recorded in a day, and we had no real idea of what we were doing. Nonetheless this album captures the rawness and stupidity of our early material and stage set, if not the sonic glory. See if you can spot the filler track.
You might be well advised to start with the other albums, though, if you're after a more polished sound. You have been warned.

Formed in 1979 at BHam Uni, ABOW (A Bunch of Wankers) changed their name halfway through their first gig from The Fondle My Bum Band, and it all went downhill from there.
Never afraid to do a joke to death, ABOW shamelessly plundered songs and bands for cheap laughs and ideas - and I do mean cheap! You had to be there, and if you weren't, you were somewhere else, not being scarred for life!
