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 1986, 23 Skidoo released a series of genre-defining records fusing post-punk, dub, industrial, world and hip-hop styles. Their classic singles include Last Words, Tearing Up The Plans, Coup and Language. Albums include Seven Songs (an indie chart #1), The Culling Is Coming and Urban Gamelan.

In 2000 the group returned with a self-titled album, 23 Skidoo, and remain hugely influential. Just Like Everybody (disc one) is a compilation covering 1980 to 1986, and includes the full 12” versions of Skidoo’s signature singles such as Last Words, Coup, Language and Assassin, as well as key album tracks, and both sides of rare debut Ethics from 1980. The second disc, Just Like Everybody (Part Two), gathers together 17 tracks recorded by the group during the 1990s, and was originally released on the band’s own Ronin label in 2002.

Digitally remastered, most of the tracks and mixes on this double CD set are exclusive, and are not repeated on the other 23 Skidoo CDs in LTM’s reissue program. The booklet also features a detailed history of the group, with contributions from Skidoo members past and present.
