Idol, Billy - Whiplash Smile

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON CHRYSALIS 1986

Chrysalis CDL 1514 made in UK with lyric innersleeve.

Vinyl NM. Cover VG+.

Although it was ultimately an unsatisfying album, failing to live up to the promise of its fabulous single, "To Be a Lover," Whiplash Smile still burned clean with an immediately recognizable 1980s energy. Like Billy Idol himself, who affected the punk archetype but cut it with a two-dimensional, cartoonish plasticity perfect for the decade, Whiplash Smile expands on the sound of the 1983 breakthrough Rebel Yell while cleverly leaving its key elements unchanged. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Idol
