Looking through some of the purchases I made back in the early 90's,
I must have spent quite some money on collecting together this
collection. At the time I thought it was one of the most
comprehensive record collections put together (as I'd seen no others!!).
Whenever Record Collector did a feature I would wonder why they'd missed
a wadge of records I owned. Though I was pleased they gave the
original 7" perfect hits some validation - thought it was a bootleg - I
only own one of them though - could have bought both many years ago.
I have seen Billy Idol a few times, Milton Keynes supporting Bon Jovi
(who were the worst on the bill which also included Little Angels and
Manic Street Preachers), Wembley (two nights in a row) and the best gig
I've ever been to Billy Idol and Generation X at the Astoria. I
didn't realise Generation X was reforming for the evening and was
delighted when they knocked through 7 songs (6 or 7).
Include Steve Stevens (his superb guitarist), Sigue Sigue Sputnik
(Tony James - Bass Player of Generation X), Westworld (seriously under
rated) and Gene Loves Jezebel.

My Generation X and Billy Idol 7" vinyl may make an appearance at a
later time....
