20 Jazz Funk Greats is the third full-length album by industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle. The track "Still Walking" also appears on the live album Heathen Earth, although with a radically different structure. The album was the first and only fully studio album the band released during their first era, as both The Second Annual Report, and D.o.A: The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle contained both live and studio recordings.
The album's cover photograph was taken at Beachy Head, a chalk headland on the south coast of England, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, and one of the world's most notorious suicide spots. On the 1991 Mute Records CD issue of the Industrial Records release an apparently dead and naked male body lay in front of the band.[3]
