Switched On (also known as Switched On Stereolab or Switched On Volume 1) is a compilation of Stereolab's first three releases, and was originally released in 1992. The album's name is in tribute to Switched-On Bach and other similar titles from the late 1960s to 1970s that feature Moog synthesizers as the primary instrument.Switched On was later licensed to Slumberland Records for a US release, and Rough Trade Germany, for that country, both in 1992.
It forms the first part of a trilogy of Stereolab rarities collections along with Refried Ectoplasm and Aluminum Tunes.
The three first releases that form Switched On include:
1. "Super 45", 10" EP, May 1991, on Duophonic (the band's own label)
2. "Super-Electric", 10" EP, September 1991, on Too Pure
3. "Stunning Debut Album", 7" single, November 1991, on Duophonic
