I Was Born a Man was the first of five albums of home-made recordings, released by Stephen Jones under the name Baby Bird in 1995. The album was originally a limited edition release, but is now available as part of the 2002 CD box set The Original Lo-Fi.

The album includes a version of the song "Cornershop", which was subsequently a hit single for Jones' band Babybird (written as one word).
