NotesVinyl LP pressing. In 1992 W.A.S.P. released The Crimson Idol. It's the story of Jonathan Aaron Steele, an abused child looking for love. Discovering music years later, he rises to international superstardom. Later followed by a catastrophic fall. 2017 marks the 25th anniversary of the original release, which is still considered to be the best album of W.A.S.P.'s career, and one of the greatest concept albums of all time. The Crimson Idol undoubtedly belongs in every metal head's record collection. The album about the anti-hero Jonathan Steele was originally intended to be accompanied by a movie, with several hundred hours of film that were shot to create approximately 50 minutes of movie footage. This film has never been released until now. Napalm Records proudly presents Re-idolized, the 25th anniversary of the iconic hit album plus the original The Crimson Idol movie on DVD. For the first time ever as originally intended - film and soundtrack united - released as one product.
