Di'Anno is the 1984 self-titled album of the band of the same name. The lead singer  had been the frontman of the British  band  for three years, before being dismissed for his erratic behaviour. The band bearing his name and playing very commercial heavy rock was his first and short-lived solo project.

This album was actually released in Japan first with strange album title Two Swimmers & A Bag of Jockies. This was actually intended as a tribute to their friend and ex-drummer Mark Stewart, a cockney from East London. Two swimmers refers to fish, and jockies' whips is slang for chips - so literally: 2 fish and a bag of chips.

The album reached only No. 105 in the  and the band disbanded at the conclusion of the short tour supporting the release.
