Valley of the Dolls is the second studio long-player by the British post-punk band Generation X, which was produced by Ian Hunter. Valley of the Dolls was recorded at Wessex Sound Studios in Islington in October 1978. The record's working title was 'Intercourse (Old Meets New)', which was superseded by a name taken from a 1966 novel. Ian Hunter was commissioned as the record's producer at Tony James's request, from having been a fan of his work with Mott the Hoople in the early 1970's.

Valley of the Dolls- complete with female backing vocals on chorus, is a gem of a recording, worthy of the title track. Included on this re-release is the incredible B-Side from the title track's single, a Johnny Kidd and the Pirates cover, Shakin' All Over. Acquiring this track used to mean tracking down a rare 7" pressing. The price of the CD is worth it for this song alone. The other single off this album was the track, King Rocker- timely when released, tribute to the recently deceased Elvis. Neither single performed up to the labels expectations.
