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. This album proves that while the theatrics and shock tactics of Blackie Lawless might have gained the headlines, it was what they did on record that gained them legions of fans, with fired-up singles such as "I Wanna Be Somebody" and "L.O.V.E. Machine".
'W.A.S.P.' is an essential addition to any hard rock collection.
