Introduce Yourself is Faith No More's second album, released in 1987. Many, including the band, considered this Faith No More's debut album. This album features better mixing than its predecessor, We Care A Lot, which is most evident on this album's version of the song "We Care A Lot," which also features updated, more topical, lyrics.
[edit] Releases
The album was originally released in April 1987 on vinyl and cassette. The album cover for this release is the lesser known centered ink splatter, with the text to the extremes of the cover. The tape has a larger smear of the ink, that looks more like a black spot.
The second release of this album, for the first time on CD, was on November 15, 1996. It was released by Slash/Uni Records. This version also featured the centered ink splatter.
The last release of this album was many years later, on October 17, 2000, through Slash/Rhino Records; they later released This Is It: The Best of Faith No More in 2003. This version has the most known artwork, where it is a close up of the ink splatter with the wording a bit further from the edges.
