Debut albums are among the cultural artefacts that capture the
popular imagination especially well. As a first impression, the
debut album may take on a mythical status, whether the artist or
group achieves enduring success or in rare cases when an initial
record turns out to be an apogee for an artist. Whatever the
subsequent career trajectory, the debut album is a meaningful text
that can be scrutinized for its revelatory signs and the
expectations that follow. Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself:
Essays on Debut Albums tells the stories of 23 debut albums over a
nearly fifty year span, ranging from Buddy Holly and the Crickets
in 1957 to The Go! Team in 2004. In addition to biographical
background and a wealth of historical information about the genesis
of the album, each essay looks back at the album and places it
within multiple contexts, particularly the artist's career
development. In this way, the book will be of as much interest to
sociologists and historians as to culture critics and
musicologists.
