Review

A special two-for-one deal on some of the best cover tunes ever recorded by one of the best 80s metal bands, Great White!

Disc 1 is a whole album dedicated to the music of Led Zeppelin while Disc 2 offers fresh versions of classic songs such as Sin City (AC/DC), Love Removal Machine (The Cult), Ready For Love (Bad Company) and many more!

Great White has consistently sold double platinum, platinum and gold albums since the 80s!

Super low price!

Southern California has long been the most fertile breeding grounds for flashy hard rock legends - providing a neon lit landing strip for such monster craft as Van Halen, Motley Crue, Poison, Dokken, Ratt, Quiet Riot and Guns N' Roses. The early '80s, Sunset Strip, hair metal explosion sent shock waves that reverberated around the globe & are still felt to this day. From the beginning, the goal was to carve your niche and stand above the blood thirsty packs all vying for their shot at the spotlight. One band actually put substance above style and still managed to become the kings of bluesy, old school arena rock. The mighty Great White first tested the waters in 1984, quickly separating from the hordes on a 2 decade stretch of catchy, sing-along anthems like "Face The Day," "Rock Me," "Save Your Love" and the career defining multi-platinum hit "Once Bitten...Twice Shy." But while the proud rockers may have dyed their roots, they never denied their roots and paid homage to their muses with the stellar 1,2 punch of Great Zeppelin (where Russell gives a young Robert Plant a run for his vocal money) and the fan favorite, Recover which allows the boys to wax chaotic on their favorite
hits from The Cult, AC/DC, Bad Company and more. Now - for the first time ever - both amazing Great White records are brought together in this must have, limited edition collection. Get 'em while they last! --Cleopatra Records

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it for a great bunch of covers, January 6, 2005

There is no orignial tracks from Great White on this 2 disc set, but it is probably the best covers cd around. The First disc is a live concert of all Led Zeppeiln material recorded in 1996. The sound is incredable! Some tracks are better than the the mighty Zep themselves. The conclussion is much of the same with cuts that cover The Cult, Bob Dylan, Badfinger, Bad Company, and much more. I love this collection because of the variety of the music and it is all done by one great band(no pun)

4.0 out of 5 stars 2-in-1 collection of previous releases, May 11, 2004

This album titled "A Double Dose" is a 2-CD set of albums previously released by Great White. It includes the albums "Great Zeppelin" and "Recover". Both of these are available as single albums, but this is a nicely priced 2-CD set. Both albums are songs of other bands, but they rock like Great White.

"Great Zeppelin" is a tribute to Led Zeppelin. It contains 14 Zeppelin songs recorded live in concert, and it sounds fantastic. Great White pulls off Led Zeppelin songs better than anybody but Zeppelin themselves. The songs are great if you can ignore Jack's silly ramblings between songs. Track list: In the Light, Living Loving Maid, Ramble On, Since I've Been Loving You, No Quarter, Tangerine, Going to California, Thank You, D'yer Mak'er, All My Love, Immigrant Song, When the Levee Breaks, The Rover, Stairway to Heaven.

"Recover" is a collection of cover songs that Great White had recorded over the years for B-sides and such. Another quality album, but a wider variety than "Great Zeppelin". This one features tunes from AC/DC, Bob Dylan, The Cult, Rolling Stones, and Bad Company. Track list: Love Removal Machine, Again and Again, Ready For Love, Bitches and Other Women (a medley featuring "Bitch" and "Women"), Tangled Up in Blue, Burning House of Love, Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady, Sin City, No Matter What, Fire and Water, Down at the Doctor, Lady Love.

All in all, 2 full discs of quality rock at a good price.

This review is from: Double Dose (Audio CD)

Great White is a great rock n'roll band and their covers of Zep and others ARE worth checking out, but these tracks are available on two seperate discs already making this release needless, as well as in bad taste with the cover (which Amazon says is not an available image), and questionable. The band, and those who lost their lives in Rhode Island deserve better. There are other questionable releases the band is fighting against, so check out their official website before purchasing anything.
