Produced by Keith Forsey and recorded in New York City, the rocker’s second studio record was launched with the title track and featured the hit singles "Eyes Without a Face," Flesh For Fantasy" and "Catch My Fall."
“Rebel Yell” was a Top 10 hit in multiple countries, including the US, where it went on to sell more than 2 million copies to earn double-platinum status in the region.
Available in multiple formats – including 2LP, limited edition 2LP, 2CD, and digital – the 2024 reissue includes a selection of previously-unreleased songs and demos, the “Poolside remix” of "Eyes Without A Face", and the never-before-heard Billy Idol/Steve Stevens original "Best Way Out Of Here" from the original sessions.
Idol’s most recent studio releases are a pair of EP’s, including 2021’s “The Roadside” and 2022’s “The Cage”; the singer also recently issued the concert film “Billy Idol: State Line”, a Vertigo Live concert film documenting his April 2023 show at the famed Hoover Dam – the first-ever concert performed at the location – on DVD and Blu-ray following a successful limited theatrical run.
