SKELETAL FAMILY

Eternal: The Singles Collection 1982-1984 (LP)

Radiation Records - 18 €

Formed in the former textiles market town of Keighley, West Yorkshire in 1982, goth favourites Skeletal Family achieved sensational success with debut album Burning Oil, which topped the British Indies chart for an exceptional duration, leading to widespread touring as a support act to Sisters of Mercy. This singles collection gathers the greatest of the band’s output before their implosion in 1986, and alongside the more familiar tracks such as ‘Trees’ and ‘She Cries Alone,’ there are rare version B-sides and a crazy cover of the ‘Batman’ theme song. A must for all Skeletal Family fans, and for lovers of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Double-sided insert included.
