Description
After they released their debut single, Backs To The Grind on the legendary NEAT Records in 1980, MCA Records signed White Spirit at the height of the NWOBHM scene. The 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 and later Iron Maiden, and they brought in a then unknown singer called Brian Howe.
The new and improved White Spirit entered the studio in 1981 to work on their second album with then Gillan keysman, Colin Towns at the production helm. The album was never completed. The band broke up and Brian Howe went on to mega platinum success replacing Paul Rodgers as the singer in Bad Company.
Those 2nd album session tapes were rediscovered in 2020 and after a delicate process, the performances were transferred to digital. Some of the sound quality had deteriorated, so the musical backing was completely replaced by a cast of stellar musicians. Brian Howe's vocals on five of the tracks survived well, but the other takes had too much degradation, so guest singers stepped in as tribute to the late singer who tragically died in 2020.
Right or Wrong has ten tracks with a nod to the past, but fresh and vibrant arrangements fit for 21st Century ears.
