Catch my fall - Billy Idol

The re-release of Billy Idol's 'Catch my fall' in 1988 was aided by a special box set featuring 4 cards and a badge. Sets like this are always a nice incentive for casual buyers to get the single - which in turn helps the single to reach higher positions in the charts. 

In this case, it helped just a little. When this single was originally released it didn't reach the UK singles chart at all, and with the help of this box set it peaked at a rather unimpressive number 63. Billy would reach the UK top 40 on two occasions after this: with Cradle of love in 1990 and 'Shock to the system' in 1993.
