This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983 is a compilation album by American band Lone Justice, released in January 2014 by Omnivore Recordings. The twelve songs include nine previously unissued tracks recorded at Suite 16 Studios, Los Angeles, in December 1983 by engineer David Vaught with direct to two-track tape and no overdubs. "Rattlesnake Mama", "Working Man's Blues" and "This World Is Not My Home" have previously been released on the 1999 compilation album This World Is Not My Home.
