Amazon, just cause you got the rights to the mp3 files in 2003 doesn't qualify you to put that as "original release date". This is 1987 album, fer cryin outloud. Please start putting correct release dates on albums!!

By the time WASP made this recording, they had their stage show, set list and between-song "spontaneous" talk down cold. When comparing the proper album to the live outtakes on this CD you might wonder how much of this was actually "live" in front of an audience. But, this is a very enjoyable piece of 1980s cheese.

I'm a long-time fan of Blackie Lawless and his boys, and have been to many a show (since back in the "throw raw meat into the audience" days. If there ARE still any W.A.S.P. virgins out there, do yourselves 2 favors: 1-GO TO A FREAKIN' SHOW ALREADY! & 2-Wear black or stay at the back of the crowd). I first got this killer disc back when it was originally released, and, much like my first CD of K.F.D., literally played it to death. This is a very visual band, and while it's true you can't watch an audio recording (unless you've reached new depths of boredom and like watching it spin), this disc and the later "Double Live Assasins" are as good as it gets without a mosh pit. For pure, brain-scrambling metal, this is one of the best!
