Blag, Steal and Borrow is Koopa's debut studio album released solely in Japan on April 30, 2007 through Pyropit Records. The band themselves have distributed copies of the album in the UK particularly as free giveaways and as part of merchandise deals. The whole album is available in download form both as a whole and as separate tracks.

Koopa is a rock band from Sible Hedingham, near Colchester, Essex, England. The band formed in 2000 by the brothers Stuart Cooper (drums) and Oliver "Ollie" Cooper, plus Joe Murphy. The band became the first act to have a Top 40 UK Singles Chart hit based on download sales only, and the first act to have a charting single without being signed to a record label, both facilitated by then-recent changes to rules for eligibility for the singles chart.
