Dirty Laundry is the eighth solo album of Ian Hunter. This album was actually not planned, because Hunter only planned to record a few songs at Abbey Road Studios.[1] However, twelve tracks were recorded in a fortnight.
The project started out with keyboardist Casino Steel, formerly of Hollywood Brats, and marked the return of Hunter to the studio since the death of his long-time friend and collaborator Mick Ronson.[2]
Darrell Bath and "Honest" John Plain were formerly in the Crybabys and "Vom" was ex-Doctor and the Medics.
Unlike his previous solo albums, many songs were written or co-written by others.
