Review - AMG :
In 2002, Recall released W.A.S.P./The Last Command, which contained two albums -- W.A.S.P. (1984, originally released on Capitol) and The Last Command (1985, also originally on Capitol) -- by W.A.S.P. on one compact disc. ~ Gregory McIntosh, All Music GuideReview - :
On {$W.A.S.P.}'s sophomore effort, 1985's {^The Last Command}, the band hired {$Quiet Riot} producer {$Spencer Proffer} to man the boards, resulting in a slightly more accessible sound than their rugged self-titled debut. Although the album wasn't the massive commercial breakthrough the band had hoped for, it resulted in their second gold-certified release in a row as they became one of the more popular {\metal} bands of the mid-'80s (touring heavily with the likes of {$Kiss}, {$Black Sabbath}, and {$Iron Maiden}). {$Blackie Lawless}' lyrics still relied heavily on sexual fantasies ({&"Sex Drive"}), as well as tales of revenge ({&"Ballcrusher,"} {&"Jack Action"}), and children of the street ({&"Running Wild in the Streets"}). The album's two singles/videos proved popular on {@MTV}'s {\heavy metal}-oriented shows -- the party-hearty {&"Blind in Texas"} and {&"Wild Child,"} the latter a tale of a Harley-riding free spirit. [The 1998 CD reissue nearly doubled the original album's length, featuring a cover of {$Mountain}'s early-'70s hit {&"Mississippi Queen,"} the original B-side {&"Savage,"} and five live tracks recorded at England's {~Lyceum} in October of 1984: {&"On Your Knees,"} {&"Hellion,"} {&"L.O.V.E. Machine,"} {&"Animal,"} and {&"I Wanna Be Somebody."}] ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
