[1]The Courtauld Talks is the eighth album by English post-punk group Killing Joke. This album was different from the group's other releases since it is essentially a spoken word album. On 19 September 1987 Jaz Coleman had delivered a lecture at London's Courtauld Institute outlining the thinking behind the then-unreleased Outside the Gate album, touching on numerology and the occult. Geordie Walker on electric guitar and Jeff Scantlebury on percussion provided a minimal musical backing at the event.[2]
The recording of the lecture was originally released as a double vinyl LP on Martin Atkins' Invisible Records in 1989, but in July 1997 a CD version was released.
