Hollywood, CA (March 18th 2004) - The label Horizon-Italy has recently released an unapproved album titled Burning House of Love. This album is not approved by GREAT WHITE. Rather the band condemns this release and asks all fans and friends not to purchase this album. They feel that the label is insensitive to the victims of the fire and are trying to capitalize on a tragic situation. This type of practice is called repackaging - record companies take previously released songs, put on a new cover with a new title.

The band and their attorneys are working on stopping this release, as it is being sold under the GREAT WHITE name without GREAT WHITE'S permission. GREAT WHITE wants to apologize for any discomfort this may have caused, as they found out about this release much the same way as the fans - via the internet. It was of great shock to the GW camp.

This is a Record company profiting from the misfortune of others and I feel bad for all the people who lost a loved one in this tragic Event. The band does not sanction this cd and the record company should be sued for this wicked act of bad taste. All Great white fans should know that this is not A Great White approved release!!!!!!!

Reading the above reviews and just plain common sense would have me believe this is not a real release. Certainly not new material. I have no doubt the band would not release such a title. Think before you buy.

I have been a Great White fan since 1984. I have purchased most every one of their albums. I have seen them play "live" when they still had Tony and Mark in the band. This was a better more energetic line-up than what has emerged during the past 3 years. The band told the truth with the excellent "CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE" LP. It was the last decent studio material from a true road tested group of American Rockers. The same material featured on "Burning House Of Love" can be found on the "Recovery" LP, and from the live "Stage" LP. This latest compilation is nothing but record company stupidity and greed.
I feel bad for the remaining members of Great White for being put under the microscope for all of things that followed the horrible disaster in Rhode Island. Jack Russel is a fantastic singer, and I hope he will release more original music in the future. If you are new to the music of Great White, I strongly encourage you to buy the "Hooked" LP. It captured the band at their absolute best moment, and the music was superb. As for any new music from Great White, Jack Russel said it best in the song entitled "Maybe Someday" ;from the "Psycho City" LP.

Not as bad as everyone "things"?? Well I THINKKKKKK that this is a joke.

Ok, so maybe the title could have been a little more tasteful. But, putting that aside, the CD is actually pretty good. Vocals and guitars are great. Price is a little high but if you can pick up a used one for under $10 it's worth it.
