40 Seasons: The Best of Skid Row is agreatest hits album by Americanheavy metal bandSkid Row, released in 1998. It includes the chart-topping singles "18 and Life", "I Remember You" and "Youth Gone Wild".[4]
The compilation features songs from the first three Skid Row studio albumsSkid Row,Slave to the Grind andSubhuman Race. The tracks "Into Another", "My Enemy" and "Breakin' Down" were remixed for this album with more tender, slightly cleaner mixes, presumably so they fit more suitingly with the other tracks. It also includes two unreleased tracks, one from the 1988Skid Row sessions, and one from the 1990–91Slave to the Grind sessions. The Japanese version features a bonus track from theB-Side Ourselves EP.
All tracks are written byRachel Bolan andDave Sabo, except where noted.
