Laughter & Lust is a 1991 album by Joe Jackson.[1] He left A&M Records in 1990, who soon released Steppin' Out: The Very Best of Joe Jackson, which became a Top Ten hit in the UK.[4] Jackson subsequently signed a recording contract with Virgin Records.[4]

Music journalist Martin C. Strong states "Laughter & Lust was Jackson's most direct, accessible material in years, a welcome diversion from his constant experimentation".[1]
