Idol, Billy - Whiplash Smile

NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2026

180 GRAM VINYL.

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
