Skyscraping is an album by music group ABC, released in March 1997. The album was produced as a homage to lead singer Martin Fry's several musical heroes, including David Bowie, Roxy Music and The Sex Pistols.
As the line-up of ABC then consisted solely of Fry; Glenn Gregory and Keith Lowndes were brought in as songwriting and performance collaborators'. The album was met with positive reviews from critics but little commercial success.
Three singles were released: "Rolling Sevens", "Skyscraping", and "Stranger Things". An expanded 2CD edition of the album was released by Cherry Red Records on 23 September 2013.
All songs written and composed by Martin Fry, Glenn Gregory, and Keith Lowndes except where indicated.
