Billy Idol - Whiplash Smile

Billy Idol — Whiplash Smile

Includes "Don't Need a Gun" and "Sweet Sixteen"

Billy Idol has announced a trio of vinyl reissues, returning his debut EP Don't Stop, 1986's Whiplash Smile, and 1990's Charmed Life to print on wax for the first time in years.

Whiplash Smile came later in 1986 after Idol had achieved rockstar status via hits like "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell" from his first two albums. This album also faired well, vaulting to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart on the strength of singles "Don't Need a Gun" and "Sweet Sixteen." It hasn't been available on vinyl since 2013.
