Brit-rockers Skunk Anansie have released a video of Charlie Big Potato, from their upcoming live album 25LIVE@25. The album, which features 25 tracks, is released on January 25.
The video was compiled from clips filmed over the course of the band's 25-year career.
"It’s amazing to see all these clips in the same video," says drummer Mark Richardson. "It really brings home to me how much we achieved and how far we have come.
"When we started we ran alongside popular culture and we still do, but one thing remains unchanged: Namely our ability to capture the audience, fire their imagination and to kick their arses into the middle of next week.
"Bands like Skunk come along once in a lifetime and I for one can’t wait to be getting back on the road to do what we do best."
Charlie Big Potato was originally the first single taken from the band's 1999 album Post Orgasmic Chill.
Earlier this month, singer Skin was honoured earlier at the 2018 Music Week Women In Music Awards, where she was given the Inspirational Artist award.
