And to keep remembering the late Jack Russell, here’s a terrific GREAT WHITE release you need in your collection: “Recovery Live! + On Your Knees“, in its complete U.S. Enigma Records version.
Several versions of the album were released, with variations in both covers and track listings. This US version features five cover songs recorded live into the studio 1986, as well as five live songs from 1983, and added the songs from the band’s very first 1982 EP ”On Your Knees” (re-issue of the original ”Out of the Night” EP) as a bonus.
This is the only version including the legendary first Great White ’82 EP, the band still major label unsigned, originally titled ”Out of the Night” via Aegean Records.
The European release (Capitol Records) replaces the 1983 live tracks with five songs from a 1987 Marquee show. The Japanese version is a strange hybrid and includes five tracks from the US version, two tracks from the Live at the Ritz promo CD, and five tracks from the Shot In The Dark and Once Bitten albums.
‘On Your Knees’ aka ‘Out of the Night’ and the 1983 live tracks are must haves, Great White at their primal, rocking, sweating true hard rock.
Hard to find version, and HIGHLY Recommended
