W.A.S.P.'S LEGENDARY FIRST LIVE ALBUM ON MID-PRICE CD FOLLOWING ITS 30th ANNIVERSARY FEATURING THE CLASSICS "I WANNA BE SOMEBODY", "WILD CHILD", "L.O.V.E. MACHINE" & "SLEEPING IN THE FIRE"
Culled from three incendiary 1987 performances in Long Beach, San Diego and San Bernardino, W.A.S.P.'s 'Live... In The Raw' is an earth-quaking lesson in Heavy Rock. Frontman Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows became legendary. Their epic live shows have remained at the heart of Heavy Rock, and this version of their first live album will be released following the band's The Crimson Idol 25th anniversary world tour ending November 2017.
This mid-price CD edition of 'Live... In The Raw' includes the original album recordings and a bonus four tracks taken from the 1998 CD reissue, which includes an acoustic recording of "Sleeping (In The Fire)". Presented in a digipack packaging with a 4-page booklet.
"It was all about shock for W.A.S.P. , be it flaming codpieces, tying a semi-naked woman to a torture rack mid-set, tossing raw meat into the audience or Blackie Lawless' own stupefying arrogance
One thing is for certain, in the annals of metal there are very few bands like W.A.S.P." Metal Hammer
