Jim Webb Sings Jim Webb is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb, released in 1968 on Epic Records.

The album consists of a set of early demo recordings, redubbed and orchestrated by Epic Records without Webb's participation or consent. None of Webb's hit songs from that period appear on the album, and the sound quality of the recording is inferior.[1] Webb later denounced the release in the strongest terms:

My most serious handicap when I first 'went artist' was a counterfeit 'Webb solo LP' called Jimmy Webb Sings Jimmy Webb, which was produced by a bunch of ruffians from some old demos of mine and tarted up to sound like "MacArthur Park". It was quite a piece of crap and was received with great anticipation and crushing disappointment at the radio level - Wikipedia
