Fanfare is a compilation album by Scottish punk and new wave band Skids, released in 1982 via Virgin Records shortly after the group dissolved.[2] John Peel wrote the album's liner notes.[4]
Despite being a compilation, it doesn't contain any tracks from the band's fourth and final album Joy.
Critical reception
