Description

Bellybutton is the acclaimed debut album by Californian power-pop band Jellyfish, originally released in 1990. Combining infectious melodies, rich vocal harmonies and immaculate musicianship, the album drew comparisons to The Beatles, Queen, Cheap Trick and Badfinger while establishing Jellyfish as one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the era.

Pressing Notes

Original 1990 UK promotional pressing on Charisma Records, catalogue number CHR 1909. This rare promotional copy was issued with its original press pack, making it significantly scarcer than the standard commercial release.
