Journey's self-titled debut album, "Journey", was released in 1975 on the Columbia Records label. Unlike their later recordings, the debut release is a progressive rock album, in the jazz-fusion vein. It is the only album to include guitarist George Tickner among their personnel.

This lineup of Journey showcased their considerable talent as musicians on jazz-flavored mix, progressive rock epics like "Of a Lifetime", "Kohoutek", "Mystery Mountain", and "Topaz".
