Generation X is the eponymous debut album of Generation X produced by Martin Rushent and released in 1978. The album contained the UK hit single "Ready Steady Go" which reached No. 47 in the chart in March 1978. The album itself peaked at No.29 on August 4. When it was originally released in the USA, it featured a different track listing, omitting three songs and adding three songs from singles and "Gimme Some Truth", a rare studio cover of a John Lennon song. The album was later remastered and re-released in 2002 with the original UK track listing, and six bonus tracks from singles. "Kiss Me Deadly" was used in the soundtrack of the 1998 movie SLC Punk.
