Billy Idol streams unreleased Rose Royce cover from Rebel Yell reissue

Billy Idol is streaming a previously-unreleased cover of the 1978 Rose Royce hit, “Love Don't Live Here Anymore”, as the latest preview to the expanded 40th anniversary editions of the rocker’s 1983 classic “Rebel Yell.”

Recorded during the original studio sessions for the project, the cover of the tune by the American soul and R&B group is one of 13 bonus tracks in the 2024 package, which also features original demos, the previously-unreleased “Best Way Out Of Here”, and the Poolside remix of “Eyes Without A Face.”

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 40th anniversary reissue series will be released on April 26.
