General Interest Whitesnake - 30th Anniversary Collection Excellent 2008 digitally remastered three CD set marking the 30th Anniversary of David Coverdale and Whitesnake's illustrious career. Featuring a healthy dose of hits, album tracks, live recordings and more, this is the most comprehensive Whitesnake collection on the market. Features 52 tracks including 'Is This Love', 'Walking in the Shadow of the Blues', 'Here I Go Again', 'Ready An' Willing' and so many more. An awesome compilation that no Rock fan should be without. EMI. Review Few bands defined the sound or the fashion of 80s hard rock more than Whitesnake, the band pieced together by former Deep Purple man, David Coverdale, in 1977. There was the look: the epic, bleach-blond curls and tight black leather. There were the sleeves: lurid, masturbatory images from a world before political correctness - see the cover to 1979's Lovehunter, a naked woman straddling a huge, coiled python. And there was the music: chugging, swaggering rock 'n' roll that updated the smoked sounds of 70s blues rock with added swagger, machismo, and pomp. Despite a thorough repackaging and remastering job, though, this 3CD collection shines a light on a catalogue that has not dated especially well. It's not just the issue of sexual politics, although their standpoint is undeniably outdated: ''Do I look the kind of guy who takes advantage of a woman like you'' asks Coverdale on Would I Lie To You, before adding, with a leer, ''Or is that what you want''. Musically too, though, Whitesnake's bluesier fare feels both slick and stiff, a bad combination. Wine, Women An' Song and Sweet Talker take a clod-hopping rhythmic approach that's far closer to Status Quo than the much more inviting, sleazy swing of AC/DC, and there's none of the smoky, psychedelic edge that made Coverdale's work in Deep Purple so inviting. There are some moments: Here I Go Again is a cheeseball Guitar Hero classic in the waiting, building from an organ opening reminiscent of Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade Of Pale into a grand, polished rocker with an addictive riff and some neat, subtle guitar melodies. It's probably worthwhile revisiting some of Coverdale's songs with Jimmy Page (see Shake My Tree), too. Ultimately though, this is one for the fans, and even they might be put off by the occasional omission: take for example Whitesnake's cover of Bobby Bland's Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City, which appears here only in its live incarnation. --Louis Pattison This link will take you off in a new window Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
