Product Description

CD Description

Although Generation X had been relatively unheralded second-generation punks in their native UK, the group's frontman, the former William Broad, always clearly wanted more. For his solo debut, Billy Idol hired American metal guitarist Steve Stevens and streamlined his sound to something more in line with Def Leppard (soon to have their own US breakthrough) than the Sex Pistols. BILLY IDOL's first single, "Hot in theCity", was a radio-ready pop-rocker in the glossy, late-1970s FM style of Nick Gilder's quite similar "Hot Child in theCity". However, the second single, the tougher and creepier"White Wedding", was a massive MTV hit and made BILLY IDOL one of the top-selling albums of 1982 and '83. The remastered CD is faithful to the second US version of BILLY IDOL; thefirst version featured a different cover shot and the track"Congo Man", here replaced with the reworked Generation X single "Dancing with Myself", a major chart success in 1983.

5.0 out of 5 stars 80's Rock at it's best!!!, 11 Feb 2002
By A Customer
What a brilliant album!!!! Billy Idol was one of the 80's most suprising rock stars. After leaving punk group Generation X you would expect that to be it. But no. White Wedding is a classic track one of my all time favourites. Hole in the wall and Come On are also great guitar lead rock tracks. This album for me is up there with The Smiths "The Queen is Dead", ZZ Top "Eliminator" and U2's "Joshua Tree" as my favourites of the decade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing album but a poor remaster, 11 Mar 2009
Grew up on this album, bought it in 1982, its shared my life with me, however this is a poor re-issue, no interesting demo's or unreleased tracks. The final straw was leaving out congo man for dancing with myself, this is a cardinal sin. Anybody wanting to experience the magic of Idols first solo release (not including the excellent dont stop ep) will be greatly disappointed. Anybody interested should try and seek out a copy of the original release and ignore this piece of marketing dirge.
