The Skids – Into The Valley
Biography
Dunfermline, United Kingdom (1977 – 1982, 2007 – 2010)
The Skids continue to enjoy popularity with two top 20 singles, “Masquerade” and “Working for the Yankee Dollar”, from the album “Days in Europa”, produced by Bill Nelson. The Cover of the album, showing an “aryan”, was seen by some as Nazi, and was soon replaced with a less controversial sleeve. This sleeve, although conventional, still bore the image of the first release seen through the viewers eyes by a picture on the wall, alongside a picture of ‘Scared to Dance’, the sleeve portrayed a woman , bare breast showing, in the hands of a man.
The Absolute Game was The Skids’ 1980 third album (not counting the two different mix versions released of their second album 1979’s Days in Europa) and was produced by Mick Glossop. It featured two new band members, Russell Webb (bass guitar, vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion) and Mike Baillie (drums, vocals, percussion).

Discovered thanks to Von Thronstahl's cover of "The Saints Are Coming". Sounds pretty good to me.

Surprised at the low number of plays for this band. I mean, they weren't exactly obscure, were they?

"Saints are coming" is great! The cover by GD and U2 is shit.

Am I the only one who used to think the chorus of Masquerade was singing something else? And made the appropriate hand movement whenever it came on the radio?
