Description

Street Survivors is the fifth studio album by the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on October 17, 1977. The LP is the last Skynyrd album recorded by original members Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins, and is the sole Skynyrd studio recording by guitarist Steve Gaines. Three days after the album's release, the band's chartered airplane crashed en route to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing the pilot, co-pilot, the group's assistant road-manager and three band members (Van Zant, Gaines, and Gaines' older sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines), and severely injuring most who survived the crash.

This album was out for a mere 3 days before the band's plane had crashed, resulting in this issue of the album to be recalled (do to the eerie nature of the cover) and making this album a decently rare one to just have. Although recalled, the album did hit shelves again but with a different front cover (that one without the flames.) 

The album was an instant success, achieving gold certification just 10 days after its release. It would later go double platinum.[5] The album performed well on the charts, peaking at #5 (the band's highest-charting album), as did the singles "What's Your Name" and "That Smell," the former a top-20 hit on the singles chart.
