“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 creators of the ‘Manchester sound’, the album captures the unrefined energy of the late ‘70s punk scene.
“Disguise In Love” stands out not only for its incisive, observational poetry but also for its stripped-down and edgy musical accompaniment,
solidifying its status as a pivotal work in Clarke’s career and a significant contribution to the punk genre.
The album comes as a limited edition of 500 copies on translucent blue coloured vinyl
