Short Back 'n' Sides is the fifth studio album by Ian Hunter. He collaborated with Mick Jones, Topper Headon, Todd Rundgren, and Ellen Foley.[3]
In 1995, Chrysalis released a 2 CD set with a remastered version of the album and bonus CD with outtakes of the Chrysalis period.[4] The track "Noises" is an experimental track with many samples used as part of the song and "Theatre of the Absurd" is Ian's only reggae song, inspired by the Ladbroke Grove area of London.
