Don't Stop (EP)

Don't Stop is the debut extended play (EP) by the English rock singer Billy Idol, released in October 1981 by Chrysalis Records. The EP contains a version of Tommy James and the Shondells' UK No. 1 hit "Mony Mony", a live version of which would later become a hit for Idol in 1987. 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 UK 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 were removed. "Untouchables" is another Gen X song taken from the 1980 album Kiss Me Deadly, which was re-recorded for Don't Stop.
