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.[3]
