The Flock is the debut album by the Flock, released in 1969. The album's jazz fusion sound was influenced by Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, in which Flock member Tom Webb participated, but whose performance was not recorded.

Grammy Award winning producer of jazz and classical albums for Columbia Records John McClure produced the album. The cover photo was taken by Columbia staff photographer Don Hunstein, famous for the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The album was engineered by Arthur Kendy & Don Puluse.

Side one closes with a cover of the 1965 The Kinks classic, Tired of Waiting. Side two closes with a 15:25 jam called "Truth". Liner notes were written from the audience at Whisky a Go Go by John Mayall on July 9, 1969.
