Atomic Roooster

Atomic Roooster sic ], also spelled Atomic Ro-o-oster on some later reissued by CD, was the first album by the British rock band, Atomic Rooster.

A few weeks after it was released, guitarist and vocalist John Du Cann joined and Nick Graham, the original vocalist and bassist, left. Du Cann then overdubbed three album tracks for a projected US release. However, in the event, the album never saw the US release and the tracks were too crowded finally appearing on the second emphasis of the album in the UK (though without a correction on the album credit), and the re-release of the next CD.

At Australia's emphasis on Interfusion, the rooster's chest was painted with feathers on its cover.

The album was re-published on vinyl in 2016.
