Pacific Street is the debut album by British band The Pale Fountains. The CD version of the LP contains the first 11 tracks plus 4 bonus songs: "Thank You", "Meadow of Love", "Palm of My Hand" and "Love's a Beautiful Place".

Pacific Street features an acoustic sound, with trumpet and flute, influenced by Burt Bacharach, Love and Bossa nova in the context of melodic pop songs.

The band would record one more album before splitting and Head would re-emerge a few years later fronting Shack.
