SEVEN SONGS AND SINGLES

* LTM is proud to announce a series of expanded reissues on CD and download by seminal post-punk group 23 Skidoo. * 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. Singles include Last Words, Tearing Up The Plans, Coup and Language. Albums include Seven Songs, The Culling Is Coming and Urban Gamelan. In 2000 the group returned with a self-titled album, 23 Skidoo, and remain hugely influential. * 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.
