Always a tight and powerful musical powerhouse they enjoyed a string of vibrant chart hits between 1978 and 1979 and their debut album 1979's `Scared to Dance' is rightly recognised as a landmark of the era. Its follow up, `Days In Europa' arrived hot on the heels of chart success but had a complex lifespan. In its first incarnation, it had been issued with a sleeve that drew criticism from some quarters and there were misgivings, too, from their label over the album's mix. Within a year of its release Virgin Records withdrew `Days In Europa' Mark I and commissioned a new, punchier mix for most of its tracks. Step forward, up-and-coming Canadian Bruce Fairburn with a brief to bring out the best in Bill Nelson's original production. For `Days in Europa (1980 Mix)' 1979 single `Working for the Yankee Dollar' was completely re-recorded and standalone hit `Masquerade' added to the tracklist - joining `Yankee', `Animation' and `Charade' to make the album a four-hit powerhouse. Meanwhile the sleeve image was replaced with a new painting. The resulting `1980 version' thereby found its way into numerous Skids fans' collections, rivalling Mark I in their affections ever since. Since the early-80s, however, `Days In Europa (1980 Mix)' has remained on ice. Included on CD in 2025's 5CD Demon\/Edsel set `Boy, Man & Soldier', 2027 sees its first reissue on vinyl since at least 1984. Comes in complete, restored 1980 sleeve artwork and is pressed on chartreuse green vinyl.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTRACK LISTING<br \/>\r\n1: Animation<br \/>\r\n2: Charade<br \/>\r\n3: Dulce Et Decorum Est (Pro Patria Mori)<br \/>\r\n4: The Olympian<br \/>\r\n5: Home of the Saved<br \/>\r\n6: Working for the Yankee Dollar<br \/>\r\n7: Thanatos<br \/>\r\n8: Masquerade<br \/>\r\n9: A Day in Europa<br \/>\r\n10: Peaceful Times","in_store_only":false,"delivery_charge":null,"collection_charge":"-1.00","voucher_code":null,"star_count":2,"verified":false,"starts":null,"ends":null,"created_at":"2026-11-08T09:04:37.000000Z","heat":18,"click_and_collect":false,"sales":"0","pending":"0","confirmed":"0","original_url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/collections\/vinyl-pre-orders\/products\/5014797914346-days-in-europa-remix-chartreuse-green-vinyl","qualifies_for_earnings":true,"is_featured":false,"points_for_submission":14,"paid":"0","cleaned_url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/collections\/vinyl-pre-orders\/products\/5014797914346-days-in-europa-remix-chartreuse-green-vinyl","is_restricted":false,"slug":"skids-days-in-europa-green-vinyl","is_black_friday":false,"uname":"SteveW","liked":false,"retail":"Rarewaves","cat":"Culture & Leisure","avatar":"\/images\/assets\/default_profile.png","ustatus":"5","ujoined":"2022-11-17T14:52:50.000000Z","pcount":49,"lcount":28187,"tagged_black_friday":false,"retailer":{"id":540,"name":"Rarewaves","banned":false,"display_url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/","clickthrough_url":"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/awclick.php?mid=70042&id=757299","logo_url":"https:\/\/ui.awin.com\/images\/upload\/merchant\/profile\/70042.png","currency_code":"GBP","driver":"AWIN","transaction_heat":10,"slug":"rarewaves","seo_description":null,"search_aliases":null,"earnings_eligible":true},"category":{"id":4,"title":"Culture & Leisure","slug":"culture-leisure","seo_description":null},"user":{"id":510,"name":"SteveW","email_verified_at":"2022-11-17T14:56:01.000000Z","created_at":"2022-11-17T14:52:50.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-05-08T15:15:43.000000Z","permissions":{"withdraw":true,"like_deal":true,"share_deal":true,"post_comment":true,"in_leaderboard":true},"timezone":"Europe\/London","deleted_at":null,"facebook_id":null,"google_id":null,"apple_id":null,"deletion_requested_at":null,"deletion_reason":null,"points":0,"in_leaderboards":true,"profile":{"avatar":"\/images\/assets\/default_profile.png","status":"5","points":28187,"bio":null,"paypal_email":"steve.smokey2@gmail.com","minimal_payment_threshold":"1.00","receive_daily_letter":true,"unsubscribe_daily_letter_uuid":"c25dee7c-60e1-4f12-bdb5-fa32eaad23b2","transaction_notification":true,"name":"SteveW","is_moderator":false,"is_admin":false,"email":"steve.smokey2@gmail.com","email_verified_at":"2022-11-17T14:56:01.000000Z","user":{"id":510,"name":"SteveW","email_verified_at":"2022-11-17T14:56:01.000000Z","created_at":"2022-11-17T14:52:50.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-05-08T15:15:43.000000Z","permissions":{"withdraw":true,"like_deal":true,"share_deal":true,"post_comment":true,"in_leaderboard":true},"timezone":"Europe\/London","deleted_at":null,"facebook_id":null,"google_id":null,"apple_id":null,"deletion_requested_at":null,"deletion_reason":null,"points":0,"in_leaderboards":true,"roles":[]}}}}}
