Budgie is Budgie's first album. It was released in June 1971 through Kapp Records. The album was re-released in 1991 by Roadrunner Records, with the bonus track "Crash Course in Brain Surgery" (originally from Budgie's fourth release, In For the Kill), which had been covered by Metallica on their 1987 EP Garage Days Re-Revisited. Strangely enough, the Mexican release made in the early 70's through the short lived 'Super Rock' series also contained "Crash Course in Brain Surgery" in the exact same position in the sequence of tracks of the 1991 CD release.

Encyclopedia: Budgie (album) (961 words)
The album was re-released in 1991 by Roadrunner Records, with the bonus track "Crash Course in Brain Surgery" (originally from Budgie's fourth release, In For the Kill), which had been covered by Metallica on their 1987 EP Garage Days Re-Revisited.
Budgie was the lovable trio from Wales, the stepchild of Black Sabbath and Rush (due both to musical and visual similarities to these two bands), plying their trade at a time when practically no one other than Sabbath was doing so.
Budgies live an average age of 8-10 years, so the cost of this book is only 3.8¢ a week spread over the life of your Budgie.
Budgie (2843 words)
Something Budgie did to stand apart from other heavy bands was include a fair number of folky, acoustic ballads on this album, resulting in a bit of a sonic rollercoaster.
Budgie is no exception, and so after I gushed with praise in the previous review about how “honest” and vital their music sounded, they made their first significant stylistic change with 1975's Bandolier.
For this, finally their FINAL album, (good riddance already!) they have taken the brainless 80's hair metal approach of the last two and added really cheesy keyboards in a prominent role to make it even more gut wrenching than you think would be possible.
