The Sound Of... McAlmont & Butler is the debut album by English rock and soul duo McAlmont & Butler, released in 1995. Recorded from 1994 to 1995 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.

Critical reception

The Times concluded that "the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter."
