Ready for the House is the debut studio album by Jandek, and was released in 1978 by his own label Corwood Industries, with the catalog number #0739. Jandek has said in letters that the number was meaningless. Corwood Industries reissued the album three times on CD, first in 1999, then sometime in the early 2000s, and again in 2005. Jackpot Records, with exclusive permission from Corwood, reissued the album on LP in 2008.
