The Sherbs - The Skill [2LP] Lagoon Splatter

Originally released in 1980, The Skill marked The Sherbs’ U.S. breakthrough. The album made it onto the Billboard 200, and the single “I Have The Skill” became their biggest American hit—reaching #14 on Billboard’s Rock Tracks chart and #61 on the Hot 100. With tighter guitars, polished production, and a move toward a more rock-focused sound, this record shows the band leaning into a new direction. Tracks like “No Turning Back” and “Back to Zero” found steady AOR radio play, helping the group gain a foothold with U.S. rock audiences for the first time.
