"Can I Have My Money Back is the first solo album by Gerry Rafferty. The distinctive cover design was by Patrick (John Byrne) and was the start of a long working relationship between Rafferty and the playwright. The LP was well received, but performed poorly in charts and sales, in part because Rafferty had just left a well known band, The Humblebums. The title was used as the title for a compilation album released in 2004. The album also saw Joe Egan come on board, and the pair formed Stealer's Wheel shortly afterwards.

Review by Mike DeGagne
"In the same year that City to City was released, Visa Records released the self-titled Gerry Rafferty album, a 15-track compendium of Humblebum tunes which appeared on 1969's The New Humblebums and 1970's Open Up the Door. Spotlighting Rafferty's early songwriting prowess, fans who are more familiar with tracks such as "Baker Street," "Right Down the Line," and "Get It Right Next Time," from his more successful solo career, will enjoy his discerning folk-pop sound that drifts through songs like the Beatlesque "My Singing Bird," "Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway," and "Patrick." The spirited "Steamboat Row" is a definite precursor to future efforts like Stealers Wheel' "Stuck in the Middle With You" and his own "The Girls Got No Confidence," proving that his talent isn't purely engulfed in heartfelt ballads and twilight pieces. If anything, the songs that make up Gerry Rafferty illustrates his ability for combining pleasant melodies and earnest moods before his work was embedded in a commercial late-'70s sound. While the material that he produced at the end of the decade brought him more success, there's an ample amount of modesty and genuine simplicity in his early music that is often just as effectual, which is why the tracks that appear on Gerry Rafferty should eventually be discovered by longtime fans, if they haven't heard them already."
