We're slackers...

We don't update The P5 every day like we used to. So when we slack off, just use the search box up there on the right. Yeah, the red box, that's it. Search The P5 Archives. You'll be glad you did.

The Skids - Working For The Yankee Dollar

|

On this date in 1979, The Skids released their sixth single, "Working For The Yankee Dollar". The B side was "Vanguard's Crusade". The A side appeared on their second album, Days In Europa, though it was a different recording on the song. The B side was a non-LP track that was added as a bonus when the album was re-released on CD. For a limited time, the single was bundled with a second 7 inch record featuring "All the Young Dudes" and "Hymns From A Haunted Ballroom", neither of which showed up on the album. The single reached the #20 spot on the U.K. singles chart. The Dunfermline, Scotland post punk band disbanded in 1982 after four albums. Stuart Adamson went on to form Big Country.
