"Jackson Browne" is the self-titled debut album of singer Jackson Browne.

Title confusion

The album is often mistakenly called "Saturate Before Using", because the words appear on the album cover, which was designed to look like a water bag that would require saturation before its first use. For this very reason, Asylum Records executives suggested to no avail that the words be removed from the album cover and nearly rejected the cover art outright. The confusion over the title returned when the album was converted to CD format, when the words appeared on the spine of the jewel case as the album title [ [http://americanprinter.com/mag/saturate_before_reading_0306/ Saturate before reading | AMERICAN PRINTER | March 2006 ] ] .
