157. Skid Row / B-Side Ourselves [EP]. 1992. 4/5.

When Skid Row were still good, and wholly intact, they released this gem on a whim, and it is just great.

What did they do? Well, they released a five song EP of cover tunes. Each member of the band chose a song they wanted to cover, and they slapped them all together and put it out. Charged a fortune for it at the time ($10.95!!), but it ended up being worth it.
Psycho Therapy is great, but not near the brilliance of C'mon And Love Me and Delivering The Goods (which is live, with guest Rob Halford). What You're Doing and Little Wing round out the five-fa.

Rating : Great idea for a mini-EP, and done terrifically well. 4/5.
