Espresso Logic is a 1993 album by Chris Rea. The US edition of the album has a significantly different track listing than other editions, as it also features songs from Rea's previous album, God's Great Banana Skin (not released in the US), along with "If You Were Me", a track recorded with Elton John for his 1993 Duets release. The cover art of the US edition also differs from the original UK release.
