Thank goodness, a version without those singing children !

This song is very very good at improving confidence.

Awesome - Bakerlite

love the intro on this
-
I actually prefer this to the released version. The demos have a raw punk quality which was sometimes lost in the wash.

Some of this stuff has got to be released commercially I think. The CD re-releases have had some extra material on them, e.g. "Test Tube Babies", B-Sides etc I think Jobson has neglected them. He said he more or less had until Adamson's death and the U2/GD cover, reminded him of those days

This was the lead single from the third album, The Absolute Game (1980). Stunning song and using the kids chorus on the finished version was a stroke of genius. Adamson left after this album and the eventual follow-up, Joy, was a really patchy affair. It was also their final album.
Is "Masquerade" on here anywhere? Cuz its awsome too!

Just an amateur effort, Mhaza, but glad you enjoyed watching it. Good to know there's a Skids following in Brazil. Cheers.

What a fantastic version. Its an absolute disgrace that some record company hasn't put all the demos and the Peel sessions out by now.
Many thanks for posting.
