Switched On (also known as Switched On Stereolab or Switched On Volume 1) is a compilation of Stereolab's first three releases, and was originally released in 1992. The album's name is in tribute to Switched-On Bach and other similar titles from the late 1960s to 1970s that feature Moog synthesizers as the primary instrument. Switched On was later licensed to Slumberland Records for a US release, and Rough Trade Germany, for that country, both in 1992.

It forms the first part of a trilogy of Stereolab rarities collections along with Refried Ectoplasm and Aluminum Tunes.

The three first releases that form Switched On include:

1. "Super 45", 10" EP, May 1991, on Duophonic (the band's own label)

A1 "The Light That Will Cease to Fail" (3:24)

A2 "Au grand jour" (3:41)

B1 "Brittle" (3:47)

B2 "Au grand jour'" (3:28)

2. "Super-Electric", 10" EP, September 1991, on Too Pure

A2 "High Expectation" (3:32)

B1 "The Way Will Be Opening" (4:07)

B2 "Contact" (8:17)
