3/5 is the first album by Les Savy Fav. It was released in 1997 by Self-Starter Foundation.[1] The Long Play (LP) release came in a pack of shower caps[2] and is fairly difficult to find, sometimes fetching high prices on eBay. Coincidentally, only three-fifths of the line-up on this album, the band's first, remain in the present-day line-up, as drummer Patrick Mahoney was replaced by Harrison Haynes before the group's second album, The Cat and the Cobra, and guitarist Gibb Slife left before the recording of the EP.
Having gone out of print, the album was re-issued in 2006, on the Frenchkiss label, minus the shower caps.
