Damn Skippy is Lemon Demon’s fourth album. It was originally released on March 21st, 2005, as homemade, burned-on-demand CD-Rs sold through the old Lemon Demon website[1], in the same manner Hip to the Javabean was the year prior. Eight bonus tracks, an audio commentary track, and an HTML file were included as bonuses on the disc.[2]This content is maintained in all CD represses of the album.
In 2006, the album received a CD repress with glass replicated discs manufactured by now-defunct company Americ Disc Inc.[3]
In April 2009, Neil offered this album for free download on Lemondemon.com, alongside Clown Circus, Live from the Haunted Candle Shop, and Hip to the Javabean.[4]
On January 21st, 2023, Needlejuice Records reissued the album, alongside Hip to the Javabean on Bandcamp in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Lemon Demon.[5] [6]This version of the album was remastered by Angel Marcloid[7]and added ten previously unreleased tracks, six remastered instrumentals, one remastered vocal track and a hidden track to the bonus track list. The album's original audio commentary track was also remastered for this release by Alex Argo.[6] Pre-orders for physical represses of the album on vinyl, CD, and cassette went up in February[8], with the CDs and cassettes shipping in June[9], and vinyls expected to ship in September.[10]
