Something Different!!!!! is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler recorded on October 25, 1962 at the Academy of Music in Stockholm, Sweden, and originally released in very small quantities on the Swedish Bird Notes label run by saxophonist Bengt "Frippe" Nordström. Ayler plays tenor saxophone (and piano for several bars on one track) and is accompanied by Swedish musicians Torbjörn Hultcrantz (bass) and Sune Spångberg (drums).
The album was later reissued on various labels, including Sonet, GNP Crescendo, Stateside, and DIW, under the titles The First Recordings and The First Recordings Vol. 1. Four additional tracks from the same recording session were released as The First Recordings Vol. 2. The contents of both albums were combined and released on CD in 2018 by the Go! Bop! label and on vinyl by the Alternative Fox label.
