Singles and B Sides is a compilation album released in 1994 by Australian band Skyhooks.

Background

Following the release of The Latest and Greatest in 1992, Skyhooks were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. [1]

Following the induction, a combined stadium tour and album was proposed with fellow Australian band, Daddy Cool, scheduled for 1994. [2]

Both bands recorded tracks for the album and the first single released was the double A-side single " Ballad of Oz"/ " Happy Hippy Hut", which peaked at number 35 in Australia. [3] Due to lack of radio interest, the joint album and tour was eventually cancelled and Skyhooks disbanded. [4]

Mushroom Records fulfilled the contract by releasing a compilation album of singles and B-sides.
