Days In EuropaDays in Europa was the Skids's controversial 1979 second album(s). 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'Aryan' album cover reminiscent of the 1936 Olympics, complete with Germanic gothic-style lettering, this was quickly withdrawn and a new cover designed.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. Tracks: Initial (withdrawn) 'Aryan cover' release - Animation
- Charade
- "Dulce et Decorum Est (Pro Patria Mori)"
- Pros and Cons
- Home of the Saved
- Working for the Yankee Dollar
- The Olympian
- Thanatos
- A Day in Europa
- Peaceful Times
Tracks: Second release - Black cover - Animation
- Charade
- "Dulce et Decorum Est (Pro Patria Mori)"
- The Olympian
- Home of the Saved
- Working for the Yankee Dollar
- Thanatos
- Masquerade
- A Day in Europa
- Peaceful Times
This second cover includes the controversial first cover as a picture on the wall behind the woman in white's head. On the back of the cover the illustration is repeated, only with the withdrawn release's picture on the wall being replaced with that of the earlier Scared to Dance album. A rough translation of "Dulce et Decorum Est (Pro Patria Mori)" is: It is a sweet and glorious thing to die for one's country .
