Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox album Fine Young Cannibals is the debut studio album released in 1985 by the band of the same name. The album features the UK #8 debut hit single "Johnny Come Home".
This success did not continue with the next single, "Blue", which languished at #41 in the UK. The version of "Blue" on the original U.S. and Canadian vinyl LP and cassette was re-mixed and edited in an attempt to boost its commercial appeal. The re-mix version features additional electronically processed percussion overdubs, giving it a sound more typical of 1980s synthpop hits. CurrentlyШаблон:When available CDs feature the re-mix version of "Blue" in place of the original U.S. album version.Шаблон:Citation needed
