Days in Europa

Days in Europa was The Skids's controversial 1979 second album. Initially released with an "aryan" album cover reminiscent of the 1936 Olympics, complete with Germanic gothic-style lettering, this was quickly withdrawn and a new cover designed. At the same time the opportunity was taken to change the album tracklisting (the original war theme being rather obvious from the track titles) and re-record some of the original tracks. Some of the deleted tracks would re-surface on later albums.

Unlike some of the punk albums of the period, the songs tend towards a slower tempo, not unlike grunge many years later. The songs often refer to events in World War I and World War II.
