''Victim of Love'' is the thirteenth studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1979. Recorded at Musicland, Munich and Rusk Sound Studios, Hollywood, it was not critically or commercially well-received, and is his second lowest charting album to date. This is also the shortest album of Elton John's career at a shade under 36 minutes. Despite its negative reception, the album was reissued in a digitally remastered format in 2003. The only single B-side released, "Strangers," appeared as a bonus track on the previous album, ''A Single Man'', as it was recorded during those sessions.

It is a disco album released shortly after the peak of disco's popularity. None of John's original band members are featured. John provided vocals for the album. It is the only album on which he did not play either pianos or keyboards. John did not compose any music for the album.

When the album was released as a CD in the 80's, the tracks often got mixed up. The first 45 seconds of "Spotlight" is actually the previous track, and this error occurs in other tracks as well. This was however fixed on the 2003 remaster, which also featured improved sound and instrumental setup. - Wikipedia
