Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina is an album by New York quintet The Left Banke, released in 1967. Although not widely popular upon its release, it is now viewed as perhaps the definitive example of "baroque pop" music. The album's two hits were the title cuts, "Walk Away Renée" (charting at number 5) and "Pretty Ballerina" (number 15). Album track "I've Got Something on My Mind" was later sampled by Swedish pop singer Jens Lekman for the 2003 song "Black Cab".
This album has never been available on compact disc, and the LP itself has been out of print since the early 1980s.
