'''''Savage Garden''''' is the eponymous debut album from Australian pop duo [[Savage Garden]]. It was released on 4 March 1997.{{fact|date=December 2011}} The album sold more than 18&nbsp;million copies worldwide. The album's track listing varied according to territory of release: the international version has the track "Mine" removed due to concerns held by the record company over the line "crosses and crucifixes"; the song "All Around Me" only appears on the Australian version; and the song "Promises" only appears on the international one. In support of the group's Asian tour in 1998, a special double-CD package was released by Sony in the region. The first disc is the same as that of the American version of the album. According to rock music historian, [[Ian McFarlane]], the album "revealed the influence of 1980s UK pop on Hayes and Jones' songwriting. Tears for Fears melodies blended seamlessly with Eurythmics-like arrangements, while Cure-styled guitar provided the icing on the cake".

Savage Garden is the eponymous self-titled debut album released by Australian pop duo Savage Garden. It was released on March 4, 1997 in Australia. The album sold more than 18 million copies worldwide. According to rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, the album "revealed the influence of 1980s UK pop on Hayes and Jones' songwriting. Tears for Fears melodies blended seamlessly with Eurythmics-like arrangements, while Cure-styled guitar provided the icing on the cake".

Background

The band had formed in June 1994, and included multi-instrumentalist and producer, Daniel Jones and vocalist, Darren Hayes.[3][4] In 1995, they entered the studio to work on their debut album with producer, Charles Fisher (Air Supply, Moving Pictures, 1927).[5] In March 1997, the duo's self-titled debut album, Savage Garden, entered the Australian charts at No. 1 and peaked there for a total of 19 weeks.[6] The album was released internationally two weeks later. The album reached No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 and was certified gold by RIAA.[7][8] In September, Savage Garden won a record ten ARIA Awards from 13 nominations for the album and associated singles.[9][10] As of 2005, Savage Garden had been certified 12× platinum in Australia,[11] 7× platinum in the US,[7] 3× platinum in Canada,[12] 2× platinum in New Zealand, Singapore, and in the UK.[13] The album's track listing varies depending on territory. The original Australian version of the album includes the tracks "Mine" and "All Around Me", which were removed from the international tracklisting. "Mine" was removed due to concerns held by the record company over the line "crosses and crucifixes". The international version adds the track "Promises", as in international markets, it was only originally released on the cassette format of "I Want You", wheras in Australia, it was already available on CD as the B-side to "Truly, Madly, Deeply". The Japanese version of the album uses the international tracklisting, however, includes "Mine" as a bonus track on the end of the album. In support of the group's Asian tour in 1998, a special double-album package was released in the region. The first disc features the international version of the album, and the second disc includes B-sides, remixes and rare tracks.
