Generation X – Generation X

Genera & on X emerged from the English punk movement of 1976, rising from the remnants of the band Chelsea. The group featured Billy Idoland Tony James, both of whom went on to achieve notable success as solo ar & sts and as members of the band throughout the decade andbeyond. Recorded in just one week in a converted garage, the band's debut album was produced by Mar & n Rushent (known for his work withThe Stranglers, Buzzcocks, and The Human League). The record introduced a cleaner, more refined sound, with a par & cular emphasis onfocused vocals, and is oRen cited as an early influence on the development of the pop-punk genre.

He has alsoreleased a documentary, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, which offers an in-depth account of his life and career in music.This version is presented in a new Red colour LP.
