Description
THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM SEMINAL HEAVY METAL BAND W.A.S.P. NOW A MID-PRICE CD
INCLUDING THE SINGLES 'I WANNA BE SOMEBODY', 'L.O.V.E. MACHINE' AND '[ANIMAL (FUCK LIKE A BEAST)'
"If anyone ever tries to tell you that W.A.S.P.'s self-titled debut disc ain't their best effort by far, don't listen to them." TERRORIZER
Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 and before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows were legendary. This album proves that while the theatrics and shock tactics of Blackie Lawless might have gained the headlines, it was what they did on record that gained them legions of fans, with fired-up singles such as "I Wanna Be Somebody" and "L.O.V.E. Machine".
This mid-price CD edition of W.A.S.P. features the original album plus bonus tracks including the band's legendary first single "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)" which the original label, Capitol, choose to omit from the album when it was released. It is presented in a digipack packaging complete with an 8-page booklet and follows the band's The Crimson Idol 25th anniversary world tour ending November 2017.
"It was all about shock for W.A.S.P. , be it flaming codpieces, tying a semi-naked woman to a torture rack mid-set, tossing raw meat into the audience or Blackie Lawless' own stupefying arrogance… One thing is for certain, in the annals of metal there are very few bands like W.A.S.P." Metal Hammer
