As others have shown with their posts, there are some strong reggae albums for #5debutalbums7074. This is just one of my favourites that may feature in my 5, there could quite easily be others.

Speed, Glue & Shinki - Eve (1971)
Pretty standard album of heavy/blues/psych rock that came out of Japan. An okay listen if you're into that sort of thing although one track does inflict a drum solo on you.

Heron's self-titled debut album is one of charming & gentle folk rock songs with a summery feel to them. It may not change your world but it's a nice album to just sit back & chill out to.

A real solo album, Wood plays all the instruments with the exception of a bit of harmonium, he did all the vocals, produced it himself & also drew the cover. Tunes are a mish mash of styles, but if anybody can make that sound okay then Roy can. Won't make my 5 but a good listen.

Really nice debut from Candi Staton, although not all the songs fully grab me However Candi certainly knows how to deliver a song, what a voice!

Curved Air - Airconditioning
A nice solid debut, a mixture of psych, prog & folk rock with some classical touches thrown in for good measure. It's not a masterpiece but it's worth lending a tad over 40 minutes of your time to.

Where better to start than with this classic Studio One album, nailed on for a place in my 5.
Wonderful vocal trio of Keeble Drummond, Elbert Stewart & Vince Stoddard harmonising over some marvellous rocksteady/reggae beats. Every track a joy.
