Discography

• Oizzo No
LP - self-released/Thrust - THR 03 - IRL - 1975 - 500 copies

Notes:
This album was originally scheduled for released on the small Irish Thrust label in 1973. 500 covers were printed but the label went bust before the release was completed. Two years later, Doyle decided to release a revised version of the LP himself and had 500 new back covers printed which he glued over the old cover. Many of these fell off, which is why there is sometimes confusion over the release date of the debut - 1973 or 1975.

• Thalia
LP - CBS Classics - 61813 - IRL - 1978
Thalia was included in the Silverdoor CD reissue of Oizzo No (see above).

Notes:
Rarer than the self-released debut. Reputedly less than 200 copies were sold before CBS deleted it. It has become impossible to find.
A copy appeared on ebay housed in what the seller described as "the collage cover". There was never a collage cover, Roger Doyle has never heard of this, so it's either a bootleg edition or (more likely) a homemade cover for a sleeveless copy. If you are the person who purchased this copy, please get in touch.
