Whitesnake - 1987 in 2010!!!

Yes folks, the classic Whitesnake album, 1987 the one that really broke the band 'HUGE' everywhere, is getting the magic remastering treatment ... Enough of my babble though read on for the full Press release!

For U.S. Release April 20, 2010

British born vocalist extraordinaire David Coverdale paid his dues early on with superstar band Deep Purple before setting a new musical course with the group he formed and has led thro several incarnations since the late 70s. Though the band had released several platinum selling albums prior to this, the 1987 self-titled 'Whitesnake,' none matched their new musically muscular approach, or the impact that this hit-driven, melodic-yet-heavy-rocking release attained.

Initially the album was given significant attention with the release of the video 'Still Of The Night,' which was the longest promo video MTV ever played on heavy rotation at that time and introduced the band to millions of unsuspecting viewers who until then had never heard of the British import.

The song, tho` never released as a single, was a smash at rock radio. Sales then went thro the roof with the release of the energetic No. 1 single 'Here I Go Again'  followed by soulful ballad 'Is This Love,' which reached No. 2 and fans of Whitesnake both old and especially new embraced the album with open arms as it went on to become a multi-million selling success in the U.S. alone.

Synchronicity...
The synchronicity of an album loaded with some great classic rock anthems that are as vital today as they were when the were first released and arriving during an era fuelled by music videos and the monster promotional vehicle that MTV was at that time, proved an irresistible force that could not be ignored.

This DELUXE EDITION offers powerful video footage on Disc Two from various live performances appearing along with those memorable, magical promotional videos mentioned above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
... four live stage performances ...

Joining the original album, which has been freshly digitally remastered, are four live stage performances of the memorable songs from this album, which were all Billboard chart hits.

This is a must for any discerning rock fan to have in his, or her collection.
