THE SKIDS THE NOO!

Post by C r a s s ! »

This should please all you jocks!!!! :o I fucking loved The Skids since seeing them support the Strangs in 78.... anyway, for the last 48 years, I been searching for their debut album on CD. No chance. But then I was in a record fair a few weeks back and a guy on a stall comes up and chats and tells me his bro runs Captain Oi! Goldblade's new label. He says Oi! have just released Scared To Dance with "8" extra bonus tracks.

So I got it of course! Hunt over!

Albert Tatlock!! Remember that one on the John Peel Show?

Always had a soft spot for the Skids/Big Country, even though they're Fifers.

I was stood behind the photographer when Big Country did some of the photo shoot for the cover of Steel town.

It was shot in and around the Grangemouth BP Oil RefineryImage

Brings back memories!
I saw them support the Stranglers at Manchester Apollo then saw them at the Russell Club some months later.
Great band.
