RhinoWhitesnake‘s hugely successful 1987 self-titled album, which featured the chart-topping smash “Here I Go Again” and the #2 hit “Is This Love,” helped make the British metal band rock superstars. Now, in honor of the album’s 30th anniversary, a super-deluxe reissue will be released on October 6.
The four-CD/DVD package will feature a remastered version of the album, previously unreleased studio and live recordings, music videos, concert footage, a documentary and more.
The bonus audio content includes live performances from the band’s 1987 and ’88 tour, demo and rehearsal versions of songs from the album, and new remixes of select tracks.
The DVD contains restored versions of the official videos made for the four singles from the Whitesnake album, including the famous clips starring actress/model Tawny Kitaen — singer David Coverdale‘s then-girlfriend — as well as a 30-minute making-of documentary featuring a new interview with Coverdale; and footage from the band’s 1987 tour.
The super-deluxe Whitesnake reissue comes packaged with a 60-page hardcover book boasting rare photos, a lengthy essay incorporating new conversations with Coverdale and a booklet of handwritten lyrics penned by the singer.
Other versions of the 30th anniversary Whitesnake reissue also will be released, including two-CD and two-LP sets featuring select bonus tracks, a standard single CD and digital editions.
The Whitesnake reissue is the first release under a new deal the band has signed with Warner Music Group’s Rhino Entertainment division, which brings a good portion of the group’s catalog together on the same label.
