In this debut episode, Donal and Toby  - appropriately enough - delve into the mysteries of the debut album. Why do some artists get it so right so quickly? And do they all go on to bigger and better things, or do they burn brightly before extinguishing their own flames in a haze of musical differences, artistic angst and drug paraphernalia? Discover the great debut albums you never knew existed (The Earlies, anyone?), others you wished you had never heard, and... The Beatles.
