Broadcasting from Home was the fourth album by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and was released in 1984 on E.G. Records. The opening song was named after PCO leader Simon Jeffes found a discarded harmonium in an alleyway in Japan..

The original Vinyl record was pressed by EMI from a damaged master and had a destinctive click on it in track one - neither Virgin or EMI would pay to restore this, ignoring multiple requests and fans therefore had to wait until the DVD's release to hear it again.
