Fine Young Cannibals is the debut studio album by the band of the same name, released in 1985.
The album features the band's debut hit single "Johnny Come Home", which reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. This success did not continue with the next single, "Blue", which peaked at number 41 in the UK. The version of "Blue" on the original US and Canadian vinyl LP and cassette was re-mixed and edited in an attempt to boost its commercial appeal. The re-mix version features additional electronically processed percussion overdubs, giving it a sound more typical of 1980s synthpop hits. Later CD pressings feature the re-mix version of "Blue" in place of the original US album version.
