Skid Row – B-Side Ourselves (Release Year – 1992)
I am not sure if Skid Row started the trend of covers discs, but this is the first recording that I know of that is purely covers by a hard rock band.
B-Side Ourselves is only a 5 song EP, so it can hardly be considered to be a full length release.
On this disc, you get 4 studio tracks, and one live cut.
The band sounds great, but as with most covers discs, you enjoyment from this release will depend on how much you like the original songs.
My favorite, is the cover of the Rush song, What You’re Doing. This is a very cool
version of this song. It is the only track that doesn’t feel like a cover.
There is a solid but not stellar duet with Rob Halford on Delivering the Goods.
The cover of the Jimi Hendrix song Little Wing is a very decent rendition. I don’t think most people realize they released a video for this song.
B-Side Ourselves clocks in under 20 minutes. You can find this one for next to nothing on the web. Did this disc start the cover disc trend? I am not sure, but I am positive this offering by Skid Row led to more releases of the same nature.

Wasn’t a bad record. As I recall. well,…an EP.
The ‘Psycho Therapy’ is nice too… Rachel is singing that.
Ooooh… If there is a reunite wave of the 80′s, early 90′s bands why aren’t Skid Row reforming the band? There is Pretty Boy Floyd, there was Mötley Crüe…
The original lineup was the best. Baz was the best.
You forgot to mention the best song on the cd! A brilliant cover of Kiss’ Come On and Love Me. I still listen to that once in a while, yes, it’s that good.
