Billy Idol has announced that an expanded reprint of his self-titled 1982 debut album will be released on July 28th.
The reissue arrives a month before the idol begins his North American tour, which kicks off in Vancouver on August 27, with tickets available for purchase here. The show will surely see the rock legend perform songs from his debut, including his hit “White Wedding.”
The extended reissue will be available in 2-CD physical format and will contain the original 10-song tracklist and a previously unreleased 12-minute extended “White Wedding” Clubland remix on the first disc. A previously unreleased 15-song concert recorded at The Roxy in West Hollywood in 1982 is included on the second disc. A standard single LP press of the original album will also be available along with the bundled lithograph.
After serving as the lead singer of Generation X, the idol became a real star after the release of his solo debut. His sophomore effort, rebel yellReleased a year later, it was an even greater success, cementing the icon’s place in rock and roll history.
