Malicorne (aka Malicorne 1 or Colin) is the debut studio album by Malicorne, released in October 1974. It is sometimes referred to as Colin because the album is simply called "Malicorne" and because "Colin" is the first (and last) track.

The absence of any rock drummer and the complexity of the sound makes it closer to folk than rock.
