Excellent disc that, as per the results to this poll, I never see anyone ever talk about. 'Hell can wait' is my favourite, but most songs on this are great... especially from track 5 onwards.

Yeah I'm big fan of this album as well. I went for track 2 'Time' as the best track for me. I also really like 'One Heart' and 'Desperation Calling'. I own 3 CD singles from this band - all up theres an extra 5 tracks that don't appear on the album. I ripping them to MP3 now if anyones interested in hearing them let me know. BTW does anyone know if the Japanese version of this album has a different track listing or is it the same 10 tracks?

 

EDIT...oops I did mean to say "Hell Can Wait' instead of 'One Heart', Hell Can Wait is a wonderful track.

Okay guys, here's the non-album tracks. I hope I'm not violating the rules here by posting the link, but given that this is just five select tracks from three different out of print CD singles from 1991 I think this should be okay. I'm guessing the majority of people who will be interested already own the album.

 

For fans of the album, these are definately worth a listen, especially as there are three great sounding melodic rock ballads among them.

 

'Straight For Your Heart' should've been included on the album, in fact it could've fit nicely on a Def Leppard album. 'Jackson High' is another brilliant track, better than most of the album. 'More Than I Want' - what can I say - probably close to, if not the best track the band has recorded, a great intro, and once again very Def Leppard-esque.

 

'Can't Take The Credit For It' is an okay rocker, nothing too special and 'Freight Train' is a pretty average track really but shows the band playing in a style not heard before.

 

From the 'All Join Hands' single:

From the 'Hell Can Wait' single:

Shoot -- I thought this had something to do with the classic ass-kickin' movie starring Patrick Swayze. Never mind, I got nothin'.

Wow mate, I have to admit I was not expecting these tracks to be this good. Exactly as you say above, those first 3 songs are absolutely excellent, as good as anything off the album. Especially love 'Jackson High' and 'More than I want'.

 

Thanks again mate, these are awesome. Some definite Ipod additions here...

Wow looks like my poll struck gold!

Thanks a lot Fahrenheit.

I've been searching for those CD singles on ebay with no luck and searched for the mp3s with no success.

Roadhouse is definitely a band that should've gone further.

 

EDIT

Here's a Japanese release of this album on ebay. I believe the track listing is the same as there are ten tracks although the seller hasn't said which ones I'm assuming they're the same.

You could always ask him.

    • When you say original, you mean this?  
    • W.A.S.P. - Inside the Electric Circus  W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children  Pop Will Eat Itself - Dos Dedos Mis Amigos (Remaster) / A Lick of the Old Cassette Box Ultrasound - Ultrasound  Red Sun Rising - Thread Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia 
    • It's so much better to listen to the original, Erik has done some great covers, but this is a miss imo.
    • This made my recommended list for last year. Far removed sound/style wise from the awesome debut album and only one of the original lineup is featured,  but very very good all the same. 
    • This was released last year and pretty good it is.   From Andy Rethmeier's Youtube channel: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... well not quite that far away, Hartlepool in County Durham to be precise, a band of rare quality was formed. That band was called White Spirit and after their debut single, "Backs To The Grind" was released on the legendary Neat Records in 1980, the major labels came knocking. They were eager to snap up a band that had far more to offer than the majority of NWOBHM bands that they were lazily bracketed with. MCA Records won the race to sign White Spirit and with a line-up of Phil Brady, Graeme Crallan, Janick Gers, Malcolm Pearson and Bruce Ruff, their self-titled debut album was released later in 1980 to great acclaim. A constant schedule of touring saw the band build up a large and loyal following, but changes in personnel saw Janick Gers join Ian Gillan, to be replaced by Mick Tucker. Toby Sadler took over bass duties from Phil Brady and Bruce Ruff made way for an unknown singer, called Brian Howe. The new and improved White Spirit entered the studio to work on their second album with then Gillan keysman Colin Towns at the production helm. Alas, the album was never completed, the band broke up and musicians went their separate ways. Mick Tucker joined Tank, later followed by Graeme Crallan. Sadler slid easily into Airrace. Mal Pearson stepped away from music for a spell before returning to action with legends The Sweet. Singer Brian Howe crossed the Atlantic and became frontman for Ted Nugent, before achieving mega platinum success as the replacement for Paul Rodgers in Bad Company. So White Spirit were seemingly consigned to music history, with former members proceeding to forge impressive careers built on this promising foundation.  Four decades on and the location of these 2nd album sessions remained a mystery. Presumed to have been consigned to a skip, as was the fate of so many priceless mastertapes carelessly discarded over the years. The day following Brian Howe’s tragic death from a heart attack in May 2020, Tucker and Pearson were on the phone reflecting on those heady White Spirit days. The missing tapes were once more discussed, but still neither had any idea where to find them. Fate stepped in, and whilst preparing to relocate to France, Mal Pearson was rifling through his furniture in storage when he found a dusty old bedside cabinet. Inside were four sets of tapes. One labelled Chiswick Studios – White Spirit. This was it. The one they’d all thought was lost for ever. The tape was handed over to Conquest Music boss and Tank guitarist Cliff Evans. He arranged for the delicate and risky process of baking the tapes to preserve and retrieve the old recordings and transfer them to digital. Successful as the process was, the sound quality of some elements of the tracks were just not good enough for today’s ears, so Tucker & Pearson decided to replace all of the musical accompaniment with a stellar line-up of players. Neil Murray (Whitesnake) and Russell Gilbrook (Uriah Heep) made up the rhythm section, with the guitars and keyboards replaced by Mick and Mal.   Tracklisting: 1. Right Or Wrong (lead vocals – Jeff Scott Soto) 2 .Runaway (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 3. The Dice Rolls On (lead vocals – Lee Small) 4. Lady Of The Night (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 5. Gotta Get Out (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 6. Better Watch Out (lead vocals – Jeff Scott Soto) 7. Don't Say No (lead vocals – Lee Small) 8. Wait A Little Longer (lead vocals – Brian Howe) 9. Holy Water (lead vocals – Steve Overland) 10. Rock And Roll (Is Good For You) (lead vocals – Brian Howe)
