Paris is the eponymous debut album by the power trio Paris, which was active from 1975 to 1977. It was the only album recorded by the original Paris line up, as drummer Thom Mooney left shortly afterwards.

The songs on Paris were all written by guitarist/vocalist Bob Welch and are in a vein similar to Led Zeppelin.[1] The album reached number 103 on the Billboard pop album chart.[2]

In 2013, Capital Records/USM Japan/Universal Music remastered and reissued a paper-sleeve album replica (Mini LP) SHM-CD version of Paris (TYCP-80036).

Cover art

The logo of the band was Cornick's creation.[3]
