Tracey Ullman discography

This is the discography of former British-American pop singer Tracey Ullman. Known mainly for her work in television and film, she had a brief career as a successful pop singer. She was signed to Stiff Records in 1983 after label owner Dave Robinson heard some of the song parodies she did in her early television work. Her albums consisted mainly of cover versions of songs from the 1950s through the early 1980s.[1]
