Rhino’80s hair-metal band Skid Row‘s self-titled debut album was released 30 years ago this month, and in honor of the milestone, a deluxe expanded version of the record was released Friday on digital services.
Skid Row: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition features a remastered version of the original album’s 11 songs, the bonus track “Forever” and a full live performance capturing an April 1989 concert at the Marquee club in Westminster, California.
Skid Row reached #6 on the Billboard 200, and included two top 10 hits, “18 and Life” and “I Remember You,” which peaked at #4 and #6, respectively, on the Hot 100. The album has gone on to sell more than 5 million copies in the U.S.
The Sebastian Bach-fronted band’s popularity was also boosted by support stints on tours with Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, as well as having a couple of music videos on heavy rotation on MTV.
The bonus concert performances on the deluxe album include renditions of nine of the 11 songs from Skid Row, plus a cover of the KISS tune “Cold Gin.”
