At the Chelsea Nightclub is The Members' first album, released in 1979.
Smash Hits said, "the Members are supposed to be one of the hottest post-punk rock bands around, but I have my doubts. They're disposable pop rather than committed rock, though their cocky soccer-crowd style has some good clever touches. [3] AllMusic called it, "the only Members album worth owning". [1]
