News - THE SKIDS - The Absolute Game
After two years of trying we have been given the all clear by EMI to release THE SKIDS “THE ABSOLUTE GAME” (AHOY CD 304) 
Yep, the band’s biggest selling album has been given the full Captain Oi! Treatment complete with lyrics, wonderful sleeve notes by Alex “No More Heroes” Ogg and of course a stack of bonus tracks including the seminal “Strength Thru Joy” freebie LP. This is a release that we’ve had tons of requests for over the years and should further show that we always take on board the ideas sent to us by the people that really matter, the ones that buy the records!
