About this album

Disguise In Love is the electrifying debut album that established John Cooper Clarke as one of British punk’s most distinctive voices. Released in 1978, it pairs his fast-talking, sardonic poetry with lean, swaggering backing that draws on punk energy and glam-rock attitude. Produced by Martin Hannett, the record turned Clarke’s stage persona into a full-length statement, balancing satire, menace and absurdist humour with real melodic force. Its reputation grew as a key document of late-1970s counterculture, showing how spoken word could hit as hard and sound as sharp as any guitar record.
