Cool memories,..thanx 4ever Billy.

Never forget the first time hearing Generation X in 1983. It was the song One Hundred Punks and I was immediately hooked. Was already into punk rock at the time but the older punks that went to my school at the time were constantly turning me on to the older UK bands that pioneered the wave we got in the U.S.. Sex Pistols, The Varukers, The Exploited and many more greats. Just recently picked up the limited yellow vinyl Generation X LP that was released on Record Day 2023. My music room has a Pro-Ject X8 turntable, McIntosh MA5300 amp and a set of Bowers & Wilkins towers and OMFG.... I have never heard such clarity in my life, and with these new re-issues of these classic punk albums back on vinyl it only enhances the listening experience. Fantastic!
