""We (recorded) it in TW (Studios), and it was like recording in a garage, it was such a shithole. But it was great as we felt completely at home, we just plugged in and played great and it sounded great. ..." #TonyJames #ZigZagMagazine April 1978 #GenerationX 📸 #GeredMankowitz

“We’re meant to be Generation Positive rather than Generation Blank. The American idea is, ‘We are the Blank Generation, and we’re all so bored.’ We’re saying something different – we want to be hopeful.” #TonyJames bassist for #GenerationX
