ABOUT THIS ITEM

Initially active between 1979 and 1987, 23 Skidoo released a series of genre-defining records fusing post-punk, dub, industrial, world and hip-hop styles. Originally released on Fetish Records in February 1982, the mini album "Seven Songs" topped the indie charts and established 23 Skidoo as a groundbreaking commercial force. 'Intoxicating – one of the most exciting records I've heard since Unknown Pleasures' (Paul Morley, NME, 1982); '23 Skidoo conceived of funk as a sinister energy, and Seven Songs still sounds blood-curdlingly intense' (Simon Reynolds, Rip It Up & Start Again, 2005). Digitally remastered, this extended CD includes seven bonus tracks from the singles "Last Words" and "Tearing Up The Plans". The booklet also features a detailed history of the elusive group, with contributions from Skidoo members past and present.
