Wasa Wasa is the debut album by the English psychedelic rock band Edgar Broughton Band. The album was originally released as "Harvest SHVL 757" in July 1969 and was produced by Peter Jenner.

Releases

The 2004 CD reissue contained five previously unreleased bonus tracks, four of them being demos recorded by the band when they were a blues outfit called "The Edgar Broughton Blues Band". These tracks feature guitarist Victor Unitt, who left the band when they started to go into psychedelic rock, stating the members of the band to be "sell-outs". The last bonus track was a jamming session which was recorded on 21 January 1969, which was discovered when remastering the album.
