Scottish punk band, Skids, formed in Dunfermline during the summer of 1977. Comprising Richard Jobson (vocals), Stuart Adamson (guitar), William Simpson (bass), and Tom Kellichan (drums), they burst onto the British music scene with their self-financed Charles EP. Quickly signed to Virgin Records, their anthemic sound captivated audiences. However, internal conflicts led to Adamson's departure in 1981. Despite a brief decline, the band rebounded with a new lineup and achieved commercial success with The Absolute Game album in 1980. Unfortunately, creative differences and a lackluster concept album ultimately led to their dissolution.

In 2017, Skids made a comeback by reuniting and recording new music. They released live albums as well as an acoustic album while extensively touring the UK.

Experience the influential sounds of Skids as they continue to make their mark on the punk rock genre.

Deluxe Expanded Edition of the debut album by The Skids. Originally released in March 1979 the album spent ten weeks in the UK National Charts, eventually peaking at No.19. The hit singles Sweet Suburbia (No.70), The Saints Are Coming (No.48) and Into The Valley (No.10) are all featured. This three CD edition contains the original album expanded with nine bonus tracks, a second disc with 12 previously unreleased 1978 studio demos (long sought after by collectors of the band) and a third disc with the complete show from a late `78 show at the legendary London Marquee from which the B-side T.V. Stars (Albert Tatlock!) was taken. Each disc comes in its own cardboard wallet and is housed in a clam shell box featuring original album artwork. A 20-page booklet contains lyrics to the album, pictures of all relevant singles and detailed liner notes.
