Skatt Bros. chronology

Strange Spirits is a 1979 album by the Skatt Brothers.

Casablanca supported this release with a single release in the U.S. of "Dancing' for the Man" backed with "Walk the Night." A Village People-inspired video was also filmed for "Life at the Outpost", released as a single in other markets, notably in Australia where it was backed with "Midnight Companion". The KISS connections continue on this album, apart from the obvious Sean Delaney one: a KISS pinball machine features on the album's rear cover photograph.

Release details

In 2010, European music company Premium Series reissued Strange Spirits with a bonus track: Walk the Night (12 inch version). The reissue claimed to be "24 Bit Digitally Remastered From Original Master Tapes".
