I had that on my Bandcamp wish list but didn't look at it close enough to realize it is a covers album. Will be interested to hear their take on those songs. I would not say I am a huge Skids fan, but I do like quite a few songs off of their first few releases with "Sweet Suburbia" being one of them.

I figured you'd be interested! Good stuff.

Great tracklisting on that covers Lp; would be curious to hear this. I always liked the Skids; only have The Absolute Game but man what a song "Into the Valley" is.

Agreed upon!

These two may be everything you need if you can get them at a good price.

If you just get the singles one, then you miss out on one of their best tunes, "Hurry on, Boys."
Solid all around, though.

My favorite thing about The Skids was Stuart's guitar playing, so I don't think I've ever heard anything post-Stuart.

Yes, Stuart was so solid. Bruce and Jamie Watson do a stellar job nowadays.

I always say that he (and Richard Jobson) was the biggest influence on The Edge's style in addition to maybe Keith Levene (PiL).

Cheers! Quick correction - Scared to Dance is the Lp I have by them.

First 3 Skids albums are mandatory in my book. Dunno about the reunion stuff. Covers albums generally don't excite me, even if I really like the songs being covered.

Yeah, there's been a glut recently. DI, Adolescents, I think Big Country is working on one as well.
