WHITESNAKE: Next Round Of Remasters Due In March

January 23, 2007

According to Deep-Purple.net, the next three WHITESNAKE remasters have finally been scheduled for March 12 release in the U.K. 1981's "Come An' Get It" features DEEP PURPLE members Jon Lord and Ian Paice alongside WHITESNAKE mainman David Coverdale; "Live In The Heart Of The City" comprises material from two London shows in 1978 and 1980 (the former was before Paice joined); and the "Saints An' Sinners" album, recorded in 1982, was the final album to include Bernie Marsden and Ian Paice. The bonus tracks on "Come an' Get It" apparently include rough mixes of "Child of Babylon", "Come An' Get It", and "Till The Day I Die", alternate versions of "Girl", and "Lonely Days Lonely Nights", and the backing track of "Hit An' Run". "Saints An' Sinners" includes "Young Blood" and "Saints An' Sinners" complete with early vocal takes, and one (unfinished) unreleased song called "Soul Survivor".

As previously reported, a 12-minute audio interview with WHITESNAKE/ex-DEEP PURPLE frontman David Coverdale, conducted in December 2006 by Deep-Purple.net, has been made available for download at this location.

WHITESNAKE's video for the new studio song "Ready to Rock" has been posted online at this location (Real Media). The track is one of four previously unreleased cuts that appear on WHITESNAKE's new live record, entitled "Live… In the Shadow of the Blues", which was issued in Europe in November via Steamhammer/SPV Records.

WHITESNAKE has set "Good to be Bad" as the title of its forthcoming studio album, tentatively due next summer. A 20th anniversary reissue of the multi-platinum "1987" album (featuring a bonus DVD) is expected in the spring.
