Liner Notes

Roger Chapman released Zipper in February 1986. His sixth solo studio album was recorded at The Point and Workhouse Studios and mixed at the Workhouse. Its polished mid-1980s sound powered the spring Zipper tour; first-press copies carried a tour sticker listing German dates from April into May.
