Number One is the debut album from the heavy metal band Pist.On (or Piston). It was first released in 1996 by Fierce Recordings/Futurist Label Group, before being repackaged and re-released by Atlantic Records in the following year.
Another notable change, between the original album and the Atlantic version, is the spelling of the band's name, from Pist*On to simply Piston. The issue of the band having "sold out" to Atlantic became the focal point of their next album, the aptly titled $ell.Out.
All songs written by Henry Font for Cobra Music/BMI, except "Shoplifters of the World Unite" (Morrissey/Marr, c1987)
Recorded at Systems Two Recording, Brooklyn, NY
Engineered by Michael Marciano
Produced by Josh Silver
Mastered by Rick Essig at Frankford/Wayne, NYC
