'''''Shuttered Room''''' is the debut studio album by the [[Great Britain|British]] band [[the Fixx]], released on 14 May 1982.

It contains the group's debut single (in the United States), "[[Stand or Fall]]", which hit the Top 10 of [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'s Album Rock Tracks as well as No. 79 on the Hot 100. Its follow-up US single was "[[Red Skies]]", although this was their debut single in the UK market.  Both songs were aided by popular [[MTV]] music videos.

==Track listing==
''Shuttered Room'' has been released in a number of different configurations. Though the front cover artwork remains consistent across the releases, the tracks, track order, and even the credits can vary from release to release.

===Original UK track listing (MCA Records FX 1001)===
The UK version differs from the US (and later CD) release in a number of respects, including the fact that all the songs are credited to Curnin/West-Oram/Woods/Greenall/Barrett, with lyrics attributed to [[Cy Curnin]] only.

;Side 1
#"Some People" – 3:01
#"[[Stand or Fall]]" – 4:00
#"Cameras in Paris" – 3:52
#"Shuttered Room" – 2:47
#"The Fool" – 5:21

;Side 2
#"Lost Planes" – 3:23
#"I Live" – 4:53
#"Sinking Island" – 3:16
#"Time in a Glass" – 3:32
#"[[Red Skies]]" – 4:20

===US track listing===
On the US LP version, "Sinking Island" and " Time In A Glass" are dropped; "I Found You" and "The Strain" are added; and the track order is resequenced. All songs are credited as being written by Charlie Barrett, [[Cy Curnin]], Rupert Greenall, and Jamie West-Oram, except where noted.

;Side 1
#"I Found You" – 3:38
#"Some People" – 3:00

#"Sinking Island" [*]<small> (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods)</small> – 4:33
#"Stand or Fall" (Extended Mix) [*]<small> (Barrett, Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods)</small> – 4:48
