Rebel Yell is the second album by British rocker Billy Idol, released in 1984 (see 1984 in music), entitled after the first song on the record.
"Eyes Without a Face" and "Flesh for Fantasy" had hit videos on MTV. The album reunited the hit-making team of Billy Idol, Steve Stevens and Keith Forsey, after their success with Idol's solo debut, Billy Idol (1982).
In 1999, EMI 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.
