Broadcasting from Home is the fourth album by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and was released in 1984 on E.G. Records. The opening song was named after PCO leader Simon Jeffes found a discarded harmonium in an alleyway in Japan.
The original vinyl record was pressed by Virgin/Polydor from a damaged master and had a distinctive click on the first track. Virgin/Polydor wouldn't pay to restore this, and fans therefore had to wait until the CD's release to hear the undamaged track.
All music composed by Simon Jeffes except as indicated.
