More Info:

"Disguise In Love" released in 1978, is the debut album of British punk poet John Cooper Clarke. Renowned for his quick-witted delivery and sharp humor, Clarke fuses punk rock with spoken word, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sonic experience. The album includes tracks such as "I Don't Want To Be Nice," "Valley of the Lost Women," and "(I Married a) Monster from Outer Space," highlighting Clarke's talent for social commentary and dark comedy. Produced by Martin Hannett, known as (one of) the creator(s) of the 'Manchester sound', the album captures the unrefined energy of the late '70s punk scene. Other notable artists produced by Hannett include Joy Division, Magazine, New Order, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Happy Mondays. "Disguise In Love" stands out not only for it's incisive, observational poetry but also for it's stripped-down and edgy musical accompaniment, solidifying it's status as a pivotal work in Clarke's career and a significant contribution to the punk genre.
