Hour Glass is the debut studio album by the group of the same name, issued in October 1967 on Liberty Records.

[4] Hour Glass was recorded with an emphasis on lead vocalist Gregg's voice and dispensing with nearly all original material.

Of the eleven tracks on the original LP, only one was penned by a group member: Gregg Allman's "Got To Get Away".

The remaining ten were written by songwriters such as Curtis Mayfield, Jackson Browne, Del Shannon and Goffin-King.

The Hour Glass performed the basic tracks, which were overdubbed by Smith with layers of vocals and instrumentation.
