Vital Idol, initially released in Britain in 1985 and subsequently issued in the United States in 1987, was the first remix record released by a rock superstar. Besides being certified platinum,Vital Idol was accompanied by a version of "Mony Mony" that reached No. 1 on the BillboardHot 100 Singles chart, as well as hitting the Top 10 on the U.K. Singles chart.

Highlights found within the grooves of Revitalized include The Crystal Method's percussive, explosive stab at "Rebel Yell," CRAY's bass-and-keyboard-blessed "White Wedding," Tropkillaz's trop-house framing of "Eyes Without A Face," St. Francis Hotel's shimmering stop/start caress of "Flesh For Fantasy," and RAC's retro-harmonic, fist-pumping "Dancing With Myself."

Meanwhile, the digital version of Revitalized features four additional exclusive remixes, namely the brand new Billy Idol/Steve Stevens Remix of "Mony Mony," Paul Oakenfold's Extended Remix of "One Breath Away," Moby's "Half Time Version" of his take on "(Do Not) Stand In The Shadows" and "Save Me Now (Lost Dog Remix)," reworked by Billy Idol's son, Willem Wolfe with Brandon Rauch and Ed Bedrosian.
