White Lion originally formed in 1983 when Danish singer Mike Tramp moved to New York City and teamed up with guitarist Vito Bratta, later joined by James Lomenzo on bass and Greg D'Angelo on drums. Mike Tramp and Vito Bratta would make a strong and consistent writing team throughout White LionÆs brief career.Releasing their debut ôFight To Surviveö (CD1) independently in 1985, the bandÆs fortunes really took off once they were snapped up by Atlantic Records to release second record ôPrideö (CD2) in June 1987. As lead single æWaitÆ began to pick up plenty of airplay, as well as heavy rotation on MTV, hitting No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the platinum album peaked at No. 11 in the US. There was further US chart success with the singles æTell MeÆ (No. 58) and æWhen The Children CryÆ (No. 8). The bonus tracks included here are æWaitÆ (Extended Remix), æWhen The Children CryÆ (Edit), æAll You Need Is Rock 'N' RollÆ (LP Version With Intro Edit), æAll You Need Is Rock 'N' RollÆ (Short Version) & æTell MeÆ (Edit).Touring heavily, opening for Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS and AC/DC well into 1988, White Lion released the third record, ôBig Gameö (CD3) in August 1989. As per ôPrideö, ôBig Gameö was produced by Michael Wagener, reaching No. 19 in the US charts. As well as the singles æLittle FighterÆ and æCry for FreedomÆ, the album featured a cover of Golden EarringÆs hard rock staple, æRadar LoveÆ. æCry For FreedomÆ (Edit) is included as a bonus track.This time produced by Richie Zito (Poison, Mr. Big, Elton John, Cher, The Cult & Bad English), fourth and final LP by the original, ôclassicö line-up of White Lion released ôMane Attractionö (CD4) in 1991. Although ôMane Attractionö can sit proudly alongside their two previous albums for Atlantic, like many of their contemporaries who found fame, fortune and platinum sales in the 1980s, White Lion were beginning to look and sound a little out of step at the beginning of the new decade, as grunge would wipe away many bands of a more glam-based nature. They would soldier on into 1992, before calling it a day. ôMane Attractionö also now features æLights & ThunderÆ (Edit).Versions of White Lion would periodically be formed by frontman Mike Tramp, but sadly not capturing the peak of their Atlantic years. The fifth disc captures the band doing what they did best, performing their melodic hard rock Live (CD5) on stage, with a set that includes live versions of æWaitÆ, æThe Road To ValhallaÆ & æSweet Little LovingÆ. Live rehearsal versions of æLittle FighterÆ & æDon't Give UpÆ complete CD5.
