"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."
Well worth it for a great bunch of covers

"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)"
For the "Burning Shark" idiot

"The music here is classic Great White, as only Great White has the balls (or the talent) to cover the majority of these songs, without a straggling member of Led Zep present. Nothing more to say; here, the music does all the talking.
As for the cover art, it is a classic play on Led Zeppelin I, where the Hindenburg is seen striking the aerial tower, igniting into a ball of flame. Since this is Great White covering Led Zeppelin, it is a clear mixture of a great white shark, combusting the same as the lead zeppelin aircraft did... idiot!
Study your history, and your classic albums."
Not A Bad Collection

"In a previous review of this album, a reviewer claimed the album cover features a burning shark. That is bollocks. I have the cd, and the cover isn't anything special. Just a shark in the water.
The music is great. They did a good tribute to Zeppelin as well as many other bands on the second disc. This is essentially two Great White releases packaged together. The first being Great White's live tribute to Zeppelin titled "Great Zeppelin". The second disc is their covers cd called "Recover".
For the price, you can't beat it.

Good songs, bad package.

"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."
