Air Supply is the debut album by British/Australian soft rock band Air Supply released on CBS Records in December 1976.[1] The lead single "Love and Other Bruises" was released in October, reaching No. 6 on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart, followed by the album's peak at No. 17 on the Kent Albums Chart.[2] While the album reached gold status in Australia, the second single "Empty Pages" did not reach the Top 40 in February 1977.[2] The album was issued as Strangers in Love in Japan.

The album preceded the band's international breakthrough, which came with Lost in Love in 1980. The band would later release another self-titled album in 1985.
