80's Cheesecake is a solo album produced and written by Tom Ellard of Severed Heads.

According to Ellard, the album, along with his previous one, Snappy Carrion (1982), were recorded out of interest in making pop music.

[1] It is a precursor of Severed Heads' shift in sound, from their early industrialised sound to the more accessible electronic styles of their later recordings.

Tracks from this cassette appeared on the Severed Heads' compilation album Clifford Darling, Please Don't Live in the Past (1985).

All tracks are written by Tom Ellard, except for "Touch", co-written by Garry Bradbury4, 5 and 13 are new songs made of salvaged and backed-up parts from recordings from this period.
