Tages is the debut studio album by the Swedish rock band Tages, released on 3 November 1965 on Platina Records.[2] Released during a period in which the band had accumulated four top ten singles in Tio i Topp and as many on Kvällstoppen.[3][4] This led the band to become one of Sweden's first and foremost pop groups, along with Hep Stars.[5]

It was their first of three albums recorded on Platina Records, after which they'd switch to Parlophone, becoming among the first Swedish groups to do so. Issued in 6000 copies, it sold 10000 and became their first Gold record in Sweden (the second being Tages 2).[2][6] Despite this apparent success, it failed to chart on Kvällstoppen.
