Can I Have My Money Back is the first solo album by Gerry Rafferty. The distinctive cover design was by John Patrick Byrne and was the start of a long working relationship between Rafferty and the playwright. The LP was well received, but performed poorly in charts and sales, in part because Rafferty had just left a well known band, The Humblebums. The title was used as the title for a compilation album released in 2004. The album also saw Joe Egan come on board, and the pair formed Stealer's Wheel shortly afterwards.
