Lady Bump is the debut album of Austrian born singer Penny McLean. It was released in 1975, while Penny was part of the group Silver Convention. The album was releasead months after her successful single Lady Bump, and three more songs were released as singles and charted worldwide. The album received mixed reviews, Justin Kantor from AllMusic says that the album have only two enjoyable moments besides Lady Bump. Robert Christgau in his review for Silver Convention's album Get Up and Boogie argued that "They should have borrowed "Lady Bump" and "Big Bad Boy" from Penny McLean, whose bland vocalizing is best buried in the mix, as it is here, rather than showcased on a "solo" album."[2] The album managed to chart in 3 countries. This is the only McLean's album to be released in CD format, the other next two albums were released without the label or McLean's permission.
