GATEFOLD 2LP BLACK VINYL EDITION OF SOME OF W.A.S.P.s FINEST & WILDEST MOMENTS

Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 & before long tales of their outrageous music & intense stage shows were legendary.

In the last few years of the old century, W.A.S.P. made some of their most striking & brave albums. The ferocious, blood-splattered Kill Fuck Die & the celebratory sleazefest of Helldorado had provided solid proof that Blackie Lawless songwriting skills were as keen & unique as ever & unlike the majority of his 80s contemporaries, this most dogged & determined of frontmen was entering a new era full of confidence, with that blazing inferno in his eyes clearly a long way from fizzling out.

The 15 tracks featured on The Best Of The Best prove that while the theatrics & shock tactics of Blackie Lawless might have gained the headlines, it was what W.A.S.P. did on record that gained them legions of fans.

An exhilarating rocknroll rollercoaster, this 2LP set collects the most incendiary moments from a career built on mixing snarling sexual noise with carnage, chaos & controversy.

Collecting tracks from all the classic W.A.S.P. albums, including W.A.S.P., The Last Command & The Headless Children, this 2LP edition, released through Madfish, of The Best Of The Best provides the definitive document of a blistering career.

The Best Of The Best features the W.A.S.P. cuts Animal (F**K Like A Beast), I Wanna Be Somebody, Wild Child & a rip-roaring cover of Elton Johns Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting.

This 2LP edition of The Best Of The Best is presented in gatefold packaging & pressed on black vinyl.
