- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -
"THE STORY OF White Lion is a fascinating tale of triumph over
adversity. Sure, you might apply that characterisation to the
story of legions of rock bands, but the birth of their debut
album was a roller coaster ride of emotional highs and extreme
lows, played out with a backdrop of uncertainty always in
ominous view. That they eventually triumphed with this album
and also the platinum selling success of future releases on
Atlantic Records only goes to show that talent will eventually
win the day. Formed in New York by Danish born singer Mike
Tramp and talented guitarist Vito Brata, the band made waves
on the local club scene, attracting local management who had
connections to German producer Peter Hauke who offered to
record the band at his studio in Frankfurt. With an album in
the can the band were quickly signed to a sizeable deal with
Elektra Records who subsequently and inexplicably decided to
drop the band at the eleventh hour. Fortunately JVC in Japan
licensed the album and set in motion a series of events that
led to them signing with Atlantic Records. 'Fight To Survive'
was eventually issued in the US on an independent label and
provoked huge accolades amongst the rock cognoscenti who quite
rightly hailed tracks such as 'Broken Heart', 'Cherokee' and
the title track as stunning hard rock nuggets showcasing one
of the most accomplished bands of the era." Special Deluxe
Collector's Edition, fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT
digital technology,12 page full colour booklet, 3,000 word
essay, new interview with Mike Tramp, enhanced artwork and
