I thought Worst Case Scenario was great and had one of the best reviews ever:

Pretentious art wank? Possibly. But as a big fan of art and wanking, I make no apologies for proclaiming dEUS the most refreshing young guitar aspirants of 1994.

Yes. And while they subsequently did good albums, their debut really still sparkles with uniqueness - and I love that they played most of the instruments - something they never returned to.

Face it, in the late 40s not many record producers wanted to take a chance on issuing a full album of music by some crazy dude named Thelonious Monk...

The test of time is not always cruel.
In the late 40s (and the entire 50s), not many producers or labels wanted to release albums by black artists. Those that dared were real heroes.

And that is part of the reason for the proliferation of black owned and operated record labels like King and Motown in the late 50s and early 60s. Tech got more affordable, studios could be established in places where the big labels wouldn't, the talent was already there...

And in some cases the original "singles" were out of print for so long that I think it's understandable that for many a reissue compilation might be considered a debut album. For example:
