Working in the Backroom is the sixth album by the British pop musician Howard Jones. It was released in 1993, and was the first album to be released on Dtox Records, Jones's own label. Jones sold over 20,000 copies of the album at his shows. Jones's parents often helped him sell the copies. He supported the album with a North American solo tour designated "The Synthesizer Tour"; The Fat Lady Sings opened some of the shows.
Production
Jones recorded and produced the album at his home studio. He spent about a year working on it.
Critical reception
The Washington Post wrote: "A collection of not-very-experimental experiments, the album sounds like mainstream Jones on such songs as 'Over & Above' and 'Left No Evidence'."
