Fleshwounds is the debut solo album from Skunk Anansie lead singer Skin. Not entirely satisfied with its initial release, Skin re-released it with new album artwork and a slightly different track listing. "As Long as That's True" was replaced with "Getting Away with It", a cover of the song by Electronic. The radio edit to "Faithfulness" was also added.

Three singles were released from this album; "Trashed", "Faithfulness" and the double A-side, "Lost" / "Getting Away with It".
