It also contains the song “Dancing with Myself”, which had previously been a commercially unsuccessful single release for Idol’s former band Gen X in the United Kingdom in 1980. “Dancing With Myself” (from that band’s LP Kiss Me Deadly) was not re-recorded for the Don’t Stop EP release but was remixed from Gen X’s 6:05 minute long extended version of the song and edited down into 4:50 minutes, from which a drum solo and chorus section was removed.
“Untouchables” is another Gen X song taken from the 1980 album Kiss Me Deadly, which was re-recorded for Don’t Stop.
The EP peaked at #71 on the Billboard 200 and generated considerable anticipation for the full-length album Billy Idol, released the following year.
