Angelyne is the debut studio album by American singer and billboard model Angelyne, released in 1982 by Erika Records as a limited edition picture disc. It was her first album under her own name following her tenure as the lead singer of the band Baby Blue. Angelyne is a rock album influenced by new wave music. She collaborated on the album with producers Jordan Michaels, Dale Carroll, and Leonard Johnson. The album features a cover of the Elvis Presley hit "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear."
Flyers and posters were distributed around Los Angeles to promote the album. The campaign was initially organized by Angelyne's then-boyfriend, manager, and former Baby Blue bandmate, Jordan Michaels. In 1982, billboard print company owner Hugo Maisnik took over the campaign, expanding it by placing large billboards of Angelyne throughout the city. This widespread exposure contributed to her local fame and earned her the nickname "Billboard Queen of Los Angeles".[1]
