Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance is the earliest known recording by the Australian alternative rock group TISM. It was recorded on 30 December 1982 at the home of Ron Hitler-Barassi. The vocalist on this tape is Humphrey B. Flaubert, although he was much younger when this was recorded, so his voice sounds different.

The name of this album was later re-used for their debut album in 1988.
