I'm not sure what they were thinking but the music is melodic and not overly heavy, especially when you consider what was going on with the NWOBHM movement in 1982. From what I have read, the label felt the album was "too heavy". However, the label didn't like what they heard and dropped the band. The original band included ex- Angel bassist Felix Robinson and drummer Nicki Capozzi. Eventually White Lion were signed to Elektra Records and recorded this debut for that label. I'm pretty sure that I caught these guys live opening for Anthrax once at this same club. As I recall they were regulars at the L'Amour club. The band were immensely popular in New York and could easily pack a club. White Lion were formed in November 1982 by ex- Dreamer guitarist Vito Bratta and Mabel and Studs vocalist Mike Tramp, after moving from Denmark to New York in 1982.
