Watch Out (itself a rearrangement of “Nowhere to Run” with different vocals) was the only song the band ever recorded with Brian Howe, which is essential listing for those who grew to love his vocals with Bad Company and Ted Nugent.
If you like your NWOBHM with unnecessary keyboards, then White Spirit is for you. They sound similar to post-Dio Rainbow. Janik Gers would find success later as guitarist for Ian Gillan's band as well as landing a prestigious gig as one of Iron Maiden's guitarists, a spot which he still holds today. Interestingly, Brian Howe, vocalist for the second coming of Bad Company, joined the band near the end of their run. Standout tracks are Midnight Chaser and Cheetah.
