Generation X – Sweet Revenge (Vinyl LP)

Description

2023 repress, 180G Vinyl! Billy Idol’s Band before he started his solo career. The third LP by Generation X’s original line-up, recorded in 1979 and unreleased until 1998. An essential piece in the discography of one of the original UK punk bands. In early 1979 Generation X went to the English countryside to write and ’routine’ the band’s third album. We felt we had a new sound, simple songs delivered with more space than most rock’n’roll, so we went into Olympic Studios in Barnes, London and began recording with the house engineer, Doug Bennett, as co-producer. Most of the songs were recorded before our tour of Japan in June ’79. On our return Billy came into the studio with an outline of a song called ’Dancing With Myself’. We went to work on it and pretty much finished it quickly and we felt it was the song to lead the album,
