Ugly Beautiful is a 1996 album by Babybird, the band's sixth, though their first for Echo Records.

Released on 21 October, the album includes the singles "Goodnight", "Candy Girl", "You're Gorgeous" and "Cornershop".

Several of the songs had been released in these demo incarnations on Jones' solo lo-fi work as Baby Bird that he did prior to forming the band with John Pedder, Robert Gregory, Luke Scott and Huw Chadbourn.

The Independent wrote, "It's not just that the songs sound less like dashed-off demos – there is also an increased depth of musical character to them, which renders them more like collective notions rather than the mad imaginings of a marginalised loner".

The artwork was designed by Stephen Jones and DED Associates with photography by Al Levy.
