The Best Of The Best from W.A.S.P. will be available on vinyl for National Album Day on 18th October through Madfish.
Collecting tracks from all the classic W.A.S.P. albums, including W.A.S.P., The Last Command and The Headless Children, the 2LP edition, provides a definitive document of a blistering career.
Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 and before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows were legendary.
In the last few years of the old century W.A.S.P. has continued to make albums described as both some of their most striking and brave albums. The ferocious, blood-splattered Kill Fuck Die and the celebratory sleazefest of Helldorado had provided solid proof that Blackie Lawless’ songwriting skills were as keen and unique as ever and, this most dogged and determined of frontmen 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 and 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 rock ‘n’ roll rollercoaster, this 2LP set collects the most incendiary moments from a career built on mixing snarling sexual noise with carnage, chaos and controversy.
Presented in gatefold packaging and pressed on black vinyl, it can be ordered here.
