Welcome to the Club is the first live album by Ian Hunter.

After the unexpected success of You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic, Chrysalis Records wanted to keep the momentum by releasing another album.

Because Hunter never wrote when he was on the road, it became a live album, which was recorded at the end of his U.S tour.
