Guilty Until Proven Insane is a Glam Rock album released by Skyhooks in 1978.
Released as a 12" vinyl LP and a rare red vinyl LP, later released on CD in 1997. It is the first album to include an uncensored version of "Why Dontcha All Get *ucked" recorded in a studio, as opposed to live and censored. It is also the last album vocalist Graeme Strachan made with Skyhooks before reuniting with them for the recording sessions featured on The Lost Album.
The song Women In Uniform was covered 3 years later in 1981 by the NWOBHM group Iron Maiden.
In recent years, numbers of copies of Guilty Until Proven Insane (along with 'Hot for the Orient') have dwindled largely, to the extent that this album is now considered a rarity and collecter's item, on both LP and CD.
All tracks were wirtten by bass player Greg Macainsh, with the exception of 'BBB Boogie', which was penned by drummer "Freddie" Strauks.
