Nicely Out of Tune is the debut album by Lindisfarne, released in late 1970.

"We Can Swing Together", a song written by Hull about an abortive police raid on a party, became one of their favourites on stage, featuring an extended medley of traditional folk tunes played on harmonica by Ray Jackson.

[2] The title of the seventh track, "Alan in the River With Flowers", is a parody of The Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", and was given its original title of "Float Me Down the River" on the American version.

The "flatulette" was actually one of the band members blowing raspberries during the instrumental break in "Down".

[3] Bruce Eder of AllMusic praised Nicely Out of Tune as "easily the best album the group ever recorded".
