Skeletal Family - Eternal - Singles / Albums / Rarities / BBC Session / Live / Demos 1982-2015

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2016 . 

• Fronted by glamorous singer Anne-Marie Hurst, The Skeletal Family were at the forefront of the Goth Rock movement of the 1980s.

• Compiled with the full involvement of the band, who have opened up their archives for the project, this 5-CD set boasts all of the Skeletal Family’s independent recordings for the Red Rhino label between 1983 and 1985.

• Both of the band’s albums Burning Oil and Futile Combat are included, alongside all their non-album singles, B-sides and rare compilation appearances.

• For the first time, many of the band’s unissued BBC sessions for John Peel, Kid Jensen and Janice Long are also included.

• The fourth disc concentrates on live material, drawn principally from a show at Folkestone Peter Pipers (01-03-84) and a later show with Anne-Marie’s replacement Katrina Phillips. It culminates with a version of Bob Dylan’s ‘Knocking On Heaven’s Door’, with guests Andrew Eldritch (Sisters Of Mercy) and Wayne Hussey (The Mission).

• The fifth and final CD boasts a clutch of demos of previously unissued, brand new songs by the modern-day Skeletal Family, alongside earlier demos and some live reunion material.
