Early years bit embarrassing in places, very poor guitar work, only when they got some decent guitarists did they flourish, and lyricly cringe making, what world did David coverdale live in?

This is a good CD for any fans of the band. It shows how the band and music has evolved over the years. This early stuff is very bluesy and was the music that initially put Whitesnake on the map. Moody and Marden harmonising well on guitars, newer fans may recognise the titles such as 'Here I Go Again', but may not have heard this very early incarnation. Mick Moody's slide guitar solo on 'Lovehunter' is worth the price of the album alone. If your into the harder edged 'Slip of the Tongue' or 'Forevermore' stuff, this might not be for you. If you like soulful bluesy hard-rock, your going to love it!
Whitesnake was one of the most influential rock bands of their era. Although incorporating many of the old members of Deep Purple, Whitesnake had a very individual sound and their mix of rock and lilting blues created a breathtaking range of music. This one of of those albums that you can play over and over, whether remembering the songs or hearing them for the first time you cannot fail to be swept along by the driving riffs and unashamedly sexist lyrics. So get the car window down, turn the CD player up to full volume and enjoy!!!
