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.
