The Boo Radleys - Skywalker (1998)

I originally intended to end this series of Boo Radley's rarities at 1995, as they only released one album and one more single after that, with the 'Kingsize' single being cancelled, and so I thought there wouldn't be much esle to add, but a comment by jman prompted me to investigate a bit further, and possibly round things off with an EP from 1998. That EP has now turned into a full-blown album, as despite the fact that a break-up was on the cards, with Sice saying in 1998 "It was such a relief when Martin phoned me and said he didn't want to make any more records. We’d been wanting it to stop for quite a long time, but I couldn't do it – I didn't want to leave. I wanted the band to end and only Martin could have done that", the band were still recording loads of extra songs in the studio, and so from just the singles released from 1996's 'C'mon Kids' and 1998's 'Kingsize' we have one final 20-track album of rare b-sides and freebies from the band.
