Pure Mania is the debut album by the punk band the Vibrators. It was released in 1977 on Epic Records and reached No. 49 in the UK Albums Chart. The song "Baby Baby" was released as a single and punk band Stiff Little Fingers got their name from the song of the same name from this album.

Reception

In the 1992 Rolling Stone Album Guide, Mark Coleman wrote that Pure Mania was among "the few original punk artifacts that still sound urgent—and necessary." Trouser Press called it "a treasure trove of memorable ditties". AllMusic's Mark Deming said the album "isn't purist's punk, but it's pure rock & roll, and there's nothing wrong with that." Village Voice critic Robert Christgau described it as "good new-fashioned rock and roll at its wildest".
