"This is a very good hard rock album. It's very consistent, gets good sound, and has some variety. However, you're probably better off buying it as Stick It+5 import, which is this same album, but remastered in 1999 with bonus tracks."
Early Great White

"Gritty and primitive is how I'd describe it. Not quite the clean and practiced sounds you'll hear on Once Bitten, Twice Shy and Hooked for example but excellent rockin' tracks nonetheless. Played this one from vinyl on university radio station WUEC-FM while it still offered multi formats in the 80's and before full affiliation with Wisconsin Public Radio. "Substitute" is Great White's rendition of The Who's "Substitute" and is as well done as their Zeppelin copies are! For those in need of a CD to replace the well worn cassette here's your answer."
A truly great album!

"I owned this album back when it first came out (on cassette) and really loved it. I am buying it again because I no longer have it in my collection. You will find, with this album, Great White is raw and "uncommercial" like there later albums. I love all there stuff but this one lets you listen to where they began. It's a must own for all Great White fans!"
Cool CD!

"Being released in 1984 this album has the usuall sound for a hard rock band of that time period,but "Great White" is much better than a lot of the better know hard rock albums of the 80's.There is cover of The Who's Subsitute,that kicks some serious...!I would have to say Great White is just an awesome hard rock/metal CD that totally rocks."
THE BEST!!!

"You will love every song on this CD! On the Hard Rockers/Metal Heads listings it is #3 in it's time. I now rank it # 9 on my prefered tapes list. I am so stoked to see it on CD. I needed a fresh copy, my tape is wore out."
