Skin Alley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skin Alley was a progressive Anglo-American rock combo from 1969 to 1974. They are probably best known for their track "Living In Sin". By the time the album "Skintight" was released in 1973, they were playing more commercial, mainstream rock with lots of orchestration and brass arrangements.[1]

Even though the first albums were on UK CBS, US Columbia has no interest in them and they were never released in the US. Incredibly, the third and fourth albums were issued in the US by Stax Records, a label totally unsuited to understand how to promote such progressive British rock. Both albums were totally ignored in the US.
