The Professionals is the second album of the rock band the Professionals, released in 1997.[1] Recorded as their debut album and scheduled for release in 1980 by Virgin Records, a legal dispute with bassist Andy Allan over unpaid royalties led to the album being scrapped and re-recorded as I Didn't See It Coming.[2]

Quick facts Studio album by, Released ...

In 1991, the album was bootlegged by Limited Edition Records, albeit with a slightly different track listing.[3] One song ("Just Another Dream") was omitted, an alternate version of "All the Way" was added, and other tracks were titled incorrectly. Only 1,000 vinyl records and 1,000 CDs were released of this version.

In 1997, Virgin Records officially released the album with the same name, but featuring another different track listing.[4] It left off one song (b-side "Rockin' Mick") and included two songs recorded later ("Join the Professionals" and "Has Anybody Got an Alibi").
