Refugee was the self-titled and only album of Refugee. The album was originally issued on Charisma Records in March 1974. It was re-released under the TimeWave label on 27 June 2006.^[3]

The title of the track "Ritt Mickley" originated from Moraz's strong French Swiss accent when he asked other band members to play the track again but more rhythmically.^[4]
