SKIDS - SCARED TO DANCE
1979 UK 1st Pressing of band's first album in Embossed Sleeve + BONUS Scottish News 30th Anniversary Skids section.
Released at the height of post-punk's first wave, Scared to Dance is the ferocious debut album from Dunfermline's own Skids. Anchored by Richard Jobson’s dramatic vocals and the legendary guitar work of Stuart Adamson—who would later go on to form Big Country—the record delivers an explosive mix of soaring, anthem-like hooks and driving punk energy. Packed with timeless classics including "Into the Valley" and "The Saints Are Coming," this original first pressing housed in the coveted textured, embossed outer sleeve stands as a essential document of late-'70s British punk history.
