Script of the Bridge, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music), is the first album released by The Chameleons.

Generally seen as a landmark Post-punk album, it's considered by critics and fans alike as the band's strongest work. The Chameleons spent the two years prior to its release relentlessly gigging and performing radio sessions, honing their skills and perfecting the tracks. Upon entering the studio in 1983 the goal was simple: record a great first album.
