Template:Music ratings Huang Chung is the self-titled debut studio album by the English new wave band Huang Chung (later known as Wang Chung), released in March 1982 by Arista Records.[1]
Background
The album cover features the name of the band in Chinese (Template:Linktext, literally Yellow Bell), meaning the first note in the Chinese classical music scale. All four members appear on the album under pseudonyms: Jeremy Ryder (as Jack Hues); Nick Feldman (as Nick De Spig); Darren Costin (as Darwin); and Dave Burnand (as Hogg).[2]
Huang Chung was initially intended to be the first of two studio albums that the band recorded for Arista, but they left for Geffen Records following its release because their manager spotted the band's potential and felt their upcoming song, "Dance Hall Days", would potentially become a hit.[3] Following its release, Burnand left the band, due to "musical differences".[3] None of the album's singles charted.[2]
On 19 September 1995, One Way Records re-released the album on CD under license from Arista.[4]
