80's Cheesecake is an album produced and written by Tom Ellard, initially released in 1982 as a C60 cassette tape through his own Terse Tapes label. According to Ellard, the album, along with Snappy Carrion, was recorded out of interest in making pop music.[3] Due to this, it's considered as an important recording for Severed Heads, for it marked their shift in sound, from their early industrialized sound to the more accessible electronic styles of their later recordings. Tracks from the original 1982 cassette would later reappear on the Severed Heads compilation album Clifford Darling, Please Don't Live In The Past.
