ie. all aspects of album..

In reply to malk:

Inc. producing and engineering or only singing/playing?

In reply to malk:

Something by Jean Michel Jarre?

In reply to malk:

Does this also include distribution, album artwork, marketing?

In reply to malk:

Tricky one, I was going to suggest the first Foo Fighters album but that was definitely co-produced and IIRC there was another guitar player on one track.

In reply to Swirly:

Tubular Bells

In reply to coinneach:


Several Other artists played on that.

In reply to johnj:

includes everything to do with the music. album artwork would be a bonus. there can't be that many to choose from?

In reply to malk:

At a guess then, I'd go for John Anthony Frusciante's solo work.

Didn't Babybird do the whole thing solo in his garage in Sheffield, I quite liked 'You're Gorgeous'.

In reply to Al Evans:

Not quite> The credits for that track include a few other musicians, and a separate producer. Good old track though.

In reply to malk:

bon ivers self titled album, and james Vincent mcmorrows early in the morning. both recorded and produced by them.

In reply to malk:

Cut Loose by Paul Rodgers.

In reply to Mark Morris:


I was gonna say that. I think it fits as it was originally recorded by Bruce as "demo" tapes with view to creating the album with the E Street band and he made these completely on his own.

I think there was then some help with the production etc.

In reply to malk:

Texas Campfire Tapes?

In reply to Al Evans:

this is perhaps the closest?

In reply to malk:

Jamie Lenman's latest album is mostly him (the second "Memory" CD, as opposed to "Muscle".

In reply to malk:

Surprised no ones mentioned Nick Drake's Pink Moon, classic album recorded in two nights with only him and his producer in the studio (only him performing). Jackson Browne solo acoustic 1 would be number one for me though, definitely only him on that one!

There must be loads out there but probably less commercial and therefore less well known, maybe more live albums. Tommy Emmanuel has a couple with just him on it as well but I can't recall which ones. John Martyn's debut album was just him, I guess a lot of his live albums are just him as well.

In reply to malk:

Robert Johnson's "King of the Delta Blues".

In reply to malk:

Thinl danial beddinfeild did all his on an 8 track in his bedroom.

Aphex Twin's first album?

In reply to malk:
A couple of contenders:
Todd Rudgren - Hermit of Mink Hollow
Robyn Hitchcock - Eye

In reply to Bulls Crack:


Good call but I always liked the truck going past - counts as an instrument as it adds to the ambience !

Were there any other musicians on Billy Bragg's first album

(cue obvious joke)

In reply to malk:

David Ford... genius

In reply to malk:

I think Tame Impala's records are all played, recorded and produced by Kevin Parker.
