Why This Record Matters
Vital Idol collects extended and remixed versions of Billy Idol staples including “White Wedding,” “Mony Mony,” “Dancing With Myself,” and “Flesh For Fantasy.” This 1987 US configuration presents eight mixes across a full-length LP, with several tracks mixed by longtime Idol producer Keith Forsey.

Collector Note
This 1987 US Chrysalis reissue was pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Carrollton, Georgia, with G1 identifiers in the supplied Variant 7 runouts. Both OV·41620-A C2 G1 E B6 STERLING and OV-41620-B C1 G1 B4 STERLING carry stamped STERLING mastering identification, with Bobby Hata credited for mastering. This edition was originally marketed with a shrink-wrap hype sticker and a certificate-of-authenticity mail-in postcard; neither component is included here unless otherwise noted.
