The First of a Million Kisses was the first album by Fairground Attraction, released in 1988.
The album was a characteristic blend of folk, jazz, country, and Cajun elements (all but one of its songs being written by Nevin). Released in May 1988, it followed the success of the band's first single, "Perfect," by entering the album chart at number three, and rising to number two. It was the only album released by the band before their break-up in 1990.
Three other singles were released from the album: "Find My Love" (which reached number seven on the UK chart), "A Smile in a Whisper", and "Clare".
It won the award for best album at the 1989 BRIT Awards, and was certified platinum.
