It was released in January 1987, reached #22 on the UK Singles Chart, and #39 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.

The title for the song was derived from the Dylan Thomas book ''Adventures in the Skin Trade'' which John Taylor had on him during recording of the album. It was shortened to "Skin Trade" and Le Bon eventually wrote the melody and lyrics for the track while spending an evening in Taylor's Upper West Side Manhattan apartment.

Simon Le Bon sang in falsetto, Le Bon admits he was channeling The Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger on their song "Emotional Rescue". A horn section played a prominent role in the track ...

Fur Trade
The fur trade is a worldwide industry dealing in the acquisition and sale of animal fur. Since the establishment of a world fur market in the early modern period, furs of boreal, polar and cold temperate mammalian animals have been the most valued. Historically the trade stimulated the exploration and colonization of Siberia, northern North America, and the South Shetland and South Sandwich Islands. Today the importance of the fur trade has diminished; it is based on pelts produced at fur farms and regulated fur-bearer trapping, but has become controversial. Animal rights organizations oppose the fur trade, citing that animals are brutally killed and sometimes skinned alive. Fur has been replaced in some clothing by synthetic imitations, for example, as in ruffs on hoods of parkas. Continental fur trade Russian fur trade Before the European colonization of the Americas, Russia was a major supplier of fur pelts to Western Europe and parts of Asia. Its trade developed in ...
