Mudhoney is the debut studio album by American rock band Mudhoney, released in 1989.[2][3] It was their first LP after several singles and two EPs (Superfuzz Bigmuff and Boiled Beef & Rotting Teeth).
The instrumental song "Magnolia Caboose Babyshit" is a cover of "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger" by Blue Cheer, but the song is still credited to Mudhoney. The album, when bought as a new vinyl record, is also packaged with a poster of the band (Photo by Michael Lavine). The poster features the band in a blue filter and says "Mudhoney. The album is out." as well as the SubPop and Au Go Go logos.

In 2009, BBC Music noted that "the manic, macabre garage-rock contortions of their debut album remain a scuzzed-up, sleazy and subterranean treasure."[12]
