Rock legend Billy Idol is set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his landmark album ‘Rebel Yell’ with a deluxe expanded edition due April 26th via Capitol/UMe/Universal Music Canada. Available for pre-order, the reissue includes a selection of previously unreleased songs and demos, the Poolside remix of Idol’s smash hit ‘Eyes Without A Face’ and the never-before-heard Billy Idol/Steve Stevens original ‘Best Way Out of Here’ from the original sessions. Idol’s never-before-released cover of the Rose Royce single ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’ from the album’s original recording sessions is also available to download/stream now.
Originally released in November 1983, ‘Rebel Yell’ is the twice-Platinum follow-up to Idol’s self-titled debut. The album features the iconic singles ‘Eyes Without a Face’, ‘Flesh for Fantasy’, ‘Rebel Yell’ and ‘Catch My Fall’. The reissue is available in 2xLP, 2xCD, and digital formats.
For 46 years, Idol has been one of the definitive faces and voices of rock’n’roll. Between 1977 and 1981, Idol released three albums with Generation X as their camera-ready frontman. In 1982, he embarked on a transatlantic/trans-genre solo career that integrated the bold and simple lines of punk and rock’n’roll decadence.
