Chrysalis Records are proud to release a deluxe edition of Generation X’s debut album from 1978. Formed in late 1976 by Billy Idol, Tony James and Derwood Andrews with Mark Laff joining in early 1977. They signed to Chrysalis in the Summer of 1977, with their first single Your Generation being released in the September. Incidentally, they were one of the first punk bands to appear on the BBC TV’s Top of The Pops, followed closely with subsequent singles Wild Youth and Ready Steady Go. Their debut album Generation X produced by Martin Rushent (The Stranglers, Buzzcocks, Human League), was released in February 1978, reaching number 29 in the UK charts.
