  • 1977 is the first full length album by Ash, released in May 1996. The punk rock influenced album proved popular in the United Kingdom and, to a lesser degree elsewhere, where Britpop was a small cult phenomenon. The name is a reference to year of three events which shaped the band - the births of two members of the band, the year Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released, and the year the first punk albums were released, though it has been suspected that the Star Wars reference is the most important; the album opens with the sound of a TIE Fighter, and ends with the track "Darkside Lightside", whose title is a Star Wars reference, and which also ends with a choral version of the Star Wars main theme. The band have also covered "Cantina Band", on the "Girl From Mars" b-side. The song "Lose Control" was featured in the game Gran Turismo. It is also the first song by the band to be used in a video-game, followed by Orpheus from the album Meltdown featured in the game Burnout 3: Takedown; both of which are racing games. The song "Kung Fu" mentions Jackie Chan in the lyrics. In reciprocation, Chan has used the song for the end credits of his movie Rumble in the Bronx. The first 50,000 pressings of the CD begins with the original version of "Jack Names the Planets" and its B-side "Don't Know" (February 1994) which are situated in the album's pregap and are accessed by 'rewinding' from track one. There is also a hidden track named "Sick Party" which appears after "Darkside Lightside" on all versions. Several music magazines placed the album in their end-of-year lists for 1996, including NME, Melody Maker, Q, Select and Kerrang. The album is currently certified Platinum by the BPI and, according to the auto-biography on the official site, it has sold over 2 million copies around the world. Ash played the album in its entirety at London Roundhouse on Friday 5 September 2008. Following the huge demand and speed of which the Roundhouse show sold out, they also added a show at London Astoria for the following day, Saturday 6 September 2008. A 3 disc collector's edition of the album was released on November 3, 2008.
