Supergrass is the eponymous third studio album by the English alternative rock band Supergrass. It was released in the UK on 20 September 1999 and reached #3.[11] It is often referred to as "the X-ray album", due to the picture on the sleeve. In Australia a free CD was included with some live tracks. In 2022, the album was remastered and reissued as a 2CD deluxe edition, which includes new remixes of several of the songs created by John Leckie and John Cornfield among other bonus tracks.
