Garage Flower is an album by The Stone Roses.

The album was recorded in mid 1985 and was produced by Martin Hannett, collecting the band's early songs. Compared to their later works it has a more punk and goth rock sound with reverb and shouted vocals.

The album wasn't released at the time because the band were unhappy with the production and songs. The production is widely regarded as being of poor quality, particularly with regard to bass [1]. Their self titled album was the band's proper debut 4 years later.

Garage Flower album was finally released in 1996 by Silvertone Records, without the band's permission.

The album is of interest to Stone Roses fans because it collects together previously unavailable early songs, and early versions of "I Wanna Be Adored" and "This Is the One".
