Mungo Jerry is the debut album by Mungo Jerry, released in 1970. The initial British release featured lettering on the front of the sleeve and a group photo inside which appeared to be three-dimensional when viewed through a pair of 3D red and green lenses included in the packaging. It reached No. 14 in the British charts that summer. Some foreign versions include the track "In the Summertime".
