Mr. Scruff is the debut studio album by Mr. Scruff. It was released via Pleasure Music on May 12, 1997. The album saw the emergence of one of Scruff's obsessions – sea-life. The opening track, "Sea Mammal", was the first of several to use cut-up recordings of voice-overs from children's stories and nature documentaries to create surreal and silly stories. The track is a tribute to Boogie Down Productions' track "My Philosophy", and was originally released as the B-side to Scruff's debut release, the single "Hocus Pocus". The album also contains another track that references sea creatures – the album's closer, "Wail". In 2005 the album was remastered and re-released via Ninja Tune under the name Mrs. Cruff, containing three additional tracks.
