Billy Idol – Vital Idol (Vinyl LP, 1985, Chrysalis CUX 1502, UK PRS Pressing, Black & White Labels)

Why This Record Matters
Vital Idol collects extended and remixed Billy Idol tracks including “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself,” “Flesh For Fantasy,” and “Mony Mony.” This original 1985 UK configuration predates the expanded US edition and presents seven mixes produced by Keith Forsey.

Collector Note
This 1985 UK Chrysalis edition carries catalog number CUX 1502 and is the PRS Ltd. pressing with black-and-white labels, distinguishing it from the red-and-white label variation. The supplied stamped matrices, CUX1502 A // 1 ∇ 420 R and CUX 1502 B // 1 ∇ 420 R, carry the ∇ 420 R identification associated with Master Room lacquer cutting on both sides. This edition has no barcode and contains the original seven-track UK program, which differs in both sequencing and content from the later eight-track 1987 US edition.
