Supergrass is the third album by the English alternative rock band Supergrass. It was released in the UK on 20 September 1999 and reached #3.[12] It is often referred to as both "the X-ray" album, due to the picture on the sleeve, and (erroneously) self-titled. In Australia a free CD was included with some live tracks.
