Leather Launderette is the sixteenth album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch, recorded together with fellow musician Rod Clements. The album was released in March 1989.[1] Reportedly Jansch suffered from health problems during the recording, but in 1987, after being rushed to hospital, he decided to quit drinking alcohol. Colin Harper states in his Bert Jansch biography "Dazzling Stranger", that "There can be no doubt that Bert's creativity, reliability, energy, commitment and quality of performance were all rescued dramatically by the decision to quit boozing".[2]
