33-45-78 is the 1989 debut album by the Stereo MC's. It was recorded on a shoestring budget with DJ Cesare as drummer and Cath Coffey as backing vocalist.[{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p15183/biography|pure_url=yes}} Stereo MC's at Allmusic] Billboard declared that 33-45-78 proved the band "capable of wildly imaginative sampling".Billboard Magazine, 6 March 1993 Songstuff reviewers called the album "a labour of love that involved hand-making drum loops in the most rudimentary of studios" and while admitting that the sound was raw, noted that its originality was enough that it drew attention from the Jungle Brothers who would later feature on the band's more polished second album, Supernatural.[https://www.songstuff.com/independent-music/interviews/stereo_mcs/ Stereo MCs 2007 Interview]

The title "33-45-78" refers to the three common RPM speed settings on a player of gramophone records.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}
