He's a Rebel (album)

He's a Rebel is the second studio album by girl group The Crystals, and also the second LP in the Philles catalogue. It was released in February 1963, as an effort to take an advantage of the monster hit "He's a Rebel", which went to number 1 US in 1962. The song was actually recorded by the Blossoms with Darlene Love on lead vocals and attributed to the Crystals. Notably on the LP is "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)," a withdrawn single by the "real" Crystals group.

This was a repackaging of Twist Uptown, the Crystals' debut. Two of the original eleven tracks were taken from that album and replaced with "He's a Rebel" and its follow-up "He's Sure the Boy I Love" (number 11 US, also recorded with the Blossoms) while "He Hit Me" was added for a twelfth track. The He's a Rebel album peaked at number 131 US.
