Inside The Electric Circus by W.A.S.P.
About the album Inside The Electric Circus
Inside The Electric Circus from 1986 is the third studio album by W.A.S.P. and represents a pivotal moment for the band, as it marks Blackie Lawless's transition from bass to rhythm guitar. Most of the songs were written by Lawless, with Chris Holmes contributing to several of them (such as 9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y. and Mantronic).
The recording took place in July 1986 at Pasha Music House in Hollywood, and Lawless took on the production of the album. The album maintains the "sleaze" and "shock rock" character of the group, but presents a more melodic and accessible side compared to their previous releases. Nevertheless, Lawless has stated in later interviews that he considers the album one of the less successful moments of his career, describing it as "rushed work." It includes two significant covers of classic tracks: I Don't Need No Doctor by Ashford & Simpson, known by Ray Charles and Humble Pie, and Easy Livin' by Uriah Heep.
Inside The Electric Circus achieved moderate success in the charts. It reached No. 60 in the U.S. and remained on the list for 19 weeks. It had better performance in some European countries like Norway (No. 17) and Sweden (No. 35).
