No doubt about it:  No Doubt‘s eponymous 1992 debut   album   introduced  the world to a one-of-a-kind band that would soon dominate the music world with their dynamic sound. With such early hits as “Trapped   In A Box” exemplifying the group’s original ska-pop sound, No Doubt kicked off the band’s career with a bang, laying   the   groundwork for the   multi-platinum   success   that they’d achieve over the next twenty-plus years.

On November 10, UMe celebrates the 25th anniversary of No Doubt’s original release with a sparkling new vinyl edition of the album that originally put No Doubt on the map.   In addition to marking the debut disc’s first-ever vinyl release, the new LP will be pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl.  Additionally, exclusive limited-edition colored-vinyl versions will be available through No Doubt’s official website, as well as the online retail sites uDiscover and The Sound of Vinyl.  In addition to the album’s original front cover art, the back cover of the new vinyl edition features   a never-before-seen   band   photo   from the original photo session by photographer Chris Cuffaro.

No Doubt—Gwen Stefani on vocals, her brother Eric Stefani on keyboards, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young—originally became a local sensation on their Southern California home turf, before bursting onto the national and international scenes with an effervescent, new-wave infused sound that offered an upbeat alternative to the angst-driven grunge-rock that dominated the charts at the time.

No Doubt’s early ska leanings are balanced on the album by a state-of-the-art pop sensibility that manifests itself on such tunes as “Let’s Get Back,” “Move On” and “Get On The Ball.”    Although the debut album was not a major hit at the time of its original release, it emerged as a fan favorite as No Doubt subsequently became one of their era’s most popular bands.

After releasing No Doubt, the band would score a series of smash singles and  massively  popular  albums  like  Tragic Kingdom,  Return  of Saturn,  Rock Steady  and Push and Shove, helping  to  secure  Gwen, Tony,  Tom  and  Adrian  their  place  in the   American    rock   music   pantheon.   The   band’s   massive success can be traced back to No Doubt, whose definitive new vinyl edition cements its pivotal place in pop history.
