Cherry Knowle is the first full-length album by the English punk band Leatherface.[1] The album is named after Cherry Knowle Hospital in Ryhope, Sunderland, and the album's cover reflects the hospital's Victorian origins.[5]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called the album a "fine hardcore" record, writing that the "seeds of Leatherface’s later work are there in the debut’s 'Colorado Joe/Leningrad Vlad,' 'Discipline' and 'Cabbage Case.'"[1]
