''Rebel Yell'' is the second studio album by English rock musician Billy Idol, and was released on 10 November 1983 by Chrysalis Records. It was very successful with four singles on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 charts, while the album reached No. 6 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart. The album has been certified by RIAA 2x platinum and by BPI silver. ==Background and recording== The album reunited the hit-making team of Billy Idol, Steve Stevens and Keith Forsey, after their success with Idol's 1982 solo debut, ''Billy Idol''. Idol got the idea to name the album "Rebel Yell" after attending a party with The Rolling Stones. He explained on ''VH1 Storytellers'' that people were drinking "Rebel Yell" bourbon, and thought that would be a great title for an album. The title track was recorded in only three days at the Electric Lady Studios in New York City.〔Keith Forsey discusses (the recording of ''Rebel Yell'' )〕 Billy was battling Chrysalis Records over creative control, and decided to steal the master tapes. Keith Forsey stated in an interview with ''Mix'' magazine that Idol stole the wrong tapes. Idol battled the label, and came back to the studio victorious. Keith then informed him that he had taken the wrong tapes. Working with Forsey was guitarist Steve Stevens, bassist Phil Feit and later Steve Webster, drummer Gregg Gerson, and keyboardists Judi Dozier and Jack Waldman. In 1999, EMI Music re-issued the album as part of their "Expanded" series. The new version of the album included previously unreleased bonus tracks and expanded liner notes. In 2010, audiophile label Audio Fidelity Records re-issued a 24-karat CD, remastered in HDCD by Steve Hoffman. All of the singles, but particularly "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without a Face" and "Flesh for Fantasy", were hit music videos on MTV.
