Phonography is the first official album by American multi-instrumentalist R. Stevie Moore, released in 1976 on the artist's private Vital Records "label".

A 7-inch EP was issued in 1977 called Four from Phonography, which was the debut release by Moore's uncle Harry Palmer's H.P.

[1] One contemporary review in New York's Trouser Press magazine called the album "an outrageous collection of musical brain spewage" and "a true slash of genius".

In 1998, it was reissued on CD by Flamingo Records and included 8 non-LP bonus tracks, as well as many photos and an informative interview/essay by Dennis Diken.

Another remaster was issued on CD in 2009 by Chris Cutler's Recommended Records without the bonus tracks, but with a new booklet of images and data.
