The Sound Of... McAlmont & Butler is the debut album by English rock and soul duo McAlmont & Butler, released in 1995. Recorded from 1994–95 and released after the duo had split up, the album is essentially a compilation, comprising both of the band's singles—"Yes" and "You Do"—and the B-side tracks thereof, alongside one previously unreleased track, "The Right Thing'".

On 2 October 2015 a deluxe edition of the album, which includes a second disc of unreleased material and a DVD, was released.[3]
