Disguise in Love is the second studio album by John Cooper Clarke, first released in 1978. (It followed Ou est la maison de fromage?). Most of the tracks are spoken over musical accompaniment provided by Clarke's band The Invisible Girls, except "Psycle Sluts 1&2" and "Salome Maloney" — both live recordings from the Ritz Ballroom in Manchester on 8 May 1978, delivered in his trademark a cappella style.
