Officially licensed to UK label MadFish Music, here’s the requested stupendous remastered digipak reissue of W.A.S.P. third album 1986’s “Inside The Electric Circus“, including 7” and 12” single B-sides as bonus tracks.
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.
By the time W.A.S.P. released their third studio album “Inside the Electric Circus” in 1986, their none-more-decadent drive towards world domination was surging forward at full power. Travelling the world and behaving in the most debauched rock’n’roll manner imaginable and as a result, their lives had turned into an insane and unreal travelling circus, and thus the title for the band’s third full-length was born.
The album contains the vicious, raging power they had become known for, with tracks “9.5 – N.A.S.T.Y.” and “Shoot From the Hip”, and also a display of their matured and thoughtful side. Covers of Humble Pie’s “I Don’t Need No Doctor” and Uriah Heep’s “Easy Livin’” proved there was more to W.A.S.P.’s classic LA metal sound, and the monumental “Restless Gypsy” and anthemic “The Rock Rolls On” added accessibility to their sound without sacrificing one iota of attitude or aggression.
