Always Pack Your Uniform on Top is a live album by bassist Steve Swallow recorded at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in December 1999 and released on the Xtra Watt label in 2000.

Although there's a brand new batch of tunes, Swallow applies the same approach, using familiar progressions as the basis for clever original music".

[4] In JazzTimes Bill Bennett wrote: "His gifts as a composer is equally evident in this set...

Throughout, the ensemble work is outstanding, with Goodrick and Nussbaum in constant touch".

[6] On All About Jazz Glen Astarita noted: "Always Pack Your Uniform On Top is a class act - as the band most assuredly brought down the house at this time-honored jazz venue".
