Billy Idol - Rebel Yell [Black Vinyl LP]

Released in 1983, Rebel Yell is the electrifying second studio album from Billy Idol, marking a defining moment in the MTV-era rock explosion. Featuring production by Keith Forsey and performances by guitarist Steve Stevens, the album elevated Idol’s blend of punk, rock, and pop into mainstream stardom. This black vinyl reissue captures the iconic energy of the original release with clean analog sound and faithfully restored artwork.

Musically, Rebel Yell delivers a punchy fusion of hard rock riffs, new wave synths, and Idol’s snarling vocal style. From the anthemic title track “Rebel Yell” to the brooding ballad “Eyes Without a Face,” the album showcases both aggressive swagger and pop accessibility. Other standout tracks include the high-octane “Blue Highway” and the hypnotic “Flesh for Fantasy,” each emphasizing the album’s signature mix of rock edge and 1980s gloss.

This edition is pressed on standard-weight black vinyl and housed in a non-gatefold jacket. The sound is clear and dynamic, with well-balanced highs and lows that bring out the sharp production details. It’s a strong reissue for collectors seeking a classic rock staple in its original form, offering a timeless listen with no distractions.
