My Great White Collection....most of it, anyway,....updated 3/9/11...

PRD's Helloween collection got me inspired, so here is my Great White collection minus all the t-shirts (I have 13), posters (5), 8x10's (7), pins, necklaces, and shape LP's (4). I also only included a small handful of the best bootlegs in my collection...

Sorry in advance about the glare...I can't turn the flash off on my digital camera for some reason!

Cool man! I'm not a fan of Great White at all but cool collection.

Wow! Beautiful.

Awesome collection dude! Just wondering, do you have the German import version of "Can't Get There From Here", (it has the bonus tracks "Hey Bulldog" and "Shine On") the banned "Double Dose" CD with the infamous burning shark cover, or the bootleg rarities compilation CD "Something Fishy"?

Need all of those...had two of them secured in trades but they never came through. Know where I can get them???



Arttie

Correction...I have the German "Can't Get There From Here"...don't know why I didn't take a picture of it.

I know I am also missing a Japanese mini-CD of "Hooked"...

Arttie

Nice stuff Arttie. I have that Japanese "Blue EP" as well.

I JUST snagged a promo cassette called "Shark, Rattle and Roll" which is cool....



Arttie

Nice collection!!!!!

WOW! That is very very impressive and cool to the nth degree.

Thanks, guys....


I may try to get pix of my shirts later....


Arttie

Awesome stuff Arttie! That Hooked box is especially cool, never seen that before.

That's an impressive collection, Arttie!!

Very cool! Nice to know that I have contributed a piece

I must get my brother to part with the GW single he owns, and donate it to the collection.

I contributed a piece to that collection as well.

Hah, then my brother can keep his.

I don't even think any of the members of Great White have that much GW related stuff!

lol...possibly not....



Arttie

I am not huge fan of Great White but I am very impressive

Quote :

"House Of Burning Love" banned compiliaton

That's the one with the blue dot on the cover, right? I have that one. Picked it up for next to nothing when Tower Records was closing shop. It's a nice collection of cover tunes in a bound hardcover book. What's "banned" about it?

Sweet collection, by the way.

The band requested that it not be released because it is called "Burning House Of Love" and was being released right after the nightclub fire that killed several people and a band member.

Arttie

Ah, just poor timing. I guess I can see that. Good album either way. Thanks.

There are a couple of comps that kind of had bad timing regarding the titles and the nightclub fire....
