- Description: Five CD set. With their breakthrough hit 'Into The Valley' in 1979, Dunfermline, Scotland's premier export Skids quickly rose to become one of the most respected and popular bands to emerge from the UK punk and new wave era. Founding members Richard Jobson (vocals) and Stuart Adamson (guitars) were a dynamic combination up front (Adamson went on to even greater commercial success when he later founded Big Country) while the band's tight, taut sound was grounded by the William Simpson on bass and first Tom Kellichan and later Mike Baillie on drums. 'Into The Valley' had actually come on the heels of a trio of cult-appeal early singles - 'Charles', 'Sweet Suburbia', and 'The Saints Are Coming', all considered classics today, while it's success saw chart follow ups with the likes of 'Animation', 'Masquerade', 'Working For The Yankee Dollar', 'Circus Games' and 'Goodbye Civilian'. Always considered up there with the greatest among their peers - The Jam, Siouxsie And The Banshees, and The Stranglers, for example - both singles and albums showcased an intelligence and literate sensibility as well as musical innovation and awesome power. On stage they were simply dynamite. The 5-disc 'Boy, Man & Soldier Skids 1978 - 1981' collection brings together the vast majority of the Skids' recorded output from the glory years 1978 - 1981. It includes the albums 'Scared To Dance', both the original mix of 'Days In Europa' and it's 1980 remix version, 'The Absolute Game' and 'Joy' plus all of the band's non-album singles, in their edited single forms, along with B-sides and single and 12Inch edits.. Beautifully presented in 7InchX7Inch Super Deluxe packaging, 'Boy, Man and Soldier' comes fully illustrated with original sleeve art from the era married to a new design by Phillip Marshall and original cover shot by Virginia Turbett.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
