Extrapolation is the debut album by jazz guitarist John McLaughlin. It was recorded at Advision Studios in London on January 18, 1969 and first released later that year in the United Kingdom by Giorgio Gomelsky's Marmalade Records.
The album was not released in the United States until 1972, following McLaughlin's success as the leader of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The first US release and other subsequent re-issues are on the Polydor Records label.
