Debut Album 'Love, and Other Catastrophes'
Skint & Demoralised began recording their debut album Love And Other Catastrophes in June 2008 with legendary Funk/Soul session band The Dap-Kings at The Daptone Studios in Brooklyn, New York. The Dap-Kings are most known in the UK for their work on Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album and Mark Ronson's Version.
The second half of the session was at RAK Studios in St John's Wood, London and the album's producer was MiNI dOG. MiNI dOG also mixed eight of the tracks, with the other four being mixed by Jeremy Wheatley.
However, the album was leaked online months before it was due to be released, which included full-length promotional copies being sold on eBay and large numbers of downloads through illegal file sharing. It was never officially released by Mercury Records, but was eventually released by indie label Heist Or Hit alongside the band's second album This Sporting Life in summer 2011.
The album was released on 12" vinyl, including exclusive bonus tracks, by German indie label Firestation Records in 2011.
