BMG, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, has announced a newly remastered edition of Skid Row‘s 40 Seasons: The Best Of Skid Row, arriving November 6tg in the U.S. and December 4th elsewhere, on CD — and for the first time ever — translucent blue vinyl.
Originally released in 1998, 40 Seasons: The Best Of Skid Row brings together 16 tracks from one of hard rock’s most explosive and enduring bands, spanning the multi-platinum albums Skid Row and Slave To The Grind through 1995’s Subhuman Race.
Now newly remastered, the collection puts a fresh spotlight on a catalog that helped define a generation and captures Skid Row at their most raw, their loudest, and their most unforgettable.
Alongside the band’s best-known songs like Youth Gone Wild and 18 And Life, the collection digs deeper into their catalog with demos of Fire In The Hole and Frozen; remixes of tracks like Into Another and Breakin’ Down; as well as a live version of Beat Yourself Blind record in London’s Astoria in 1995.
Formed in New Jersey, Skid Row broke on to the international stage with their self-titled 1989 debut, establishing themselves with a combination of huge hooks, street-level attitude, and ferocious live reputation. Two years later, Slave To The Grind pushed the band into heavier territory while cementing their place among the era’s defining hard rock acts.
More than three decades later, their songs remain cornerstones of the hard rock canon, resonating with both longtime fans and new generations alike.
