***Delicate Tension*** is the second official album by American musician [R. Stevie Moore](/source/R._Stevie_Moore), issued in a small pressing by his uncle Harry Palmer's [H.P. Music](/source/H.P._Music) in November 1978. The album is the follow-up to the compilation *[Phonography](/source/Phonography_(album))* (1976). It mainly contains Moore's new songs and sound experiments captured since his recent move north from Nashville to New Jersey, all recorded on 1/4 track 7½ ips [reel-to-reel](/source/Reel-to-reel) stereo tape decks. The album cover was designed by Moore himself.

"I Go Into Your Mind" was later remade and released on 2006's *The Yung & Moore Show*.

## Reissues

*Delicate Tension* was reissued on compact disc in July 2004 by [Cordelia Records](/source/Cordelia_Records) in the UK. It included 10 bonus tracks, including the complete [Stance e.p.](/source/Stance_e.p.) from September 1978, as well as rare photos and an extensive e-mail interview by Jenkins.
