Direct may refer to:
Direct is a 1981 live in-studio album by Tower of Power. It was their only album for the direct-to-disc record label Sheffield Lab. It also marked the return of original guitarist Willie James Fulton, not heard from since 1972's Bump City, and the last album to feature saxophonist Lenny Pickett. Mark Sanders plays drums on this album. Between this album and their 1987 comeback album Power they would record the sessions that later became the Dinosaur Tracks CD. Besides that, save for the original single release of "Simple As That" (from the same Dinosaur Tracks sessions), this would be their last new release until 1987. It contained mostly songs from their previous albums but included new stuff as well.
Direct would later be released with alternate takes on CD as Direct PLUS in 1997.

"i've, seen things..
..so many things that you can't believe.
Past designs, future designs,
Cables in the bend.
Second-hand sounds,
Future sounds,
Synthesised dialogues.
Incomprehenseble software.
Hi jon, let's break some rules!
Here comes the sun.
We're doing some recordings later
Same ol' factory you know
Here's some names for you,
'polyester landscape,
Nylon oxygen,
Ashes to concrete.'
Etcetera.....etcetera....
Etcetera.....
"oh, by the way,
It's been a beautiful morning,
What a morning,
Great morning,
It's a great moring man."
