Finally getting around to watching the DVD. Slightly odd (and disappointing) how they've used the 2017 remixes for the music videos.
I picked up the SDE off Amazon for 25 dollars, total and it arrived today. Never have heard the album, only know "Here I Go Again" so it should be a cool set to dive into. I've read the sound maybe isn't the best, but I have dumb ears, so they won't mind.
I went to a music store today and noticed that there were recent Rhino reissues for Slide It In and Slip Of The Tongue. I then checked the Rhino website and found the following info Out Now: Whitesnake, SLIDE IT IN / SLIP OF THE TONGUE | Rhino
I've got the UK first press from 1987 (so with 9 songs and with embossed cover and printed inner sleeve). On the inner sleeve it says the record was mastered at artisan sound recorders by Greg Fulginiti and the lacquer was cut Direct metal mastering at precision lacquer by stephen Marcussen...I suppose those informations concern the original Us press because there is no artisan symbol on the deadwax of the uk pressed records and there is no indication that it is a DMM. So my questions are : 1) if the first us press differs from the first uk press, wich is the most desirable ? 2) Was this one recorded on tape or digital and is it possible the uk first press was made from tapes ?
DC was on Eddie Trunks podcast and let loose an interesting tidbit...he said Joel Hoekstra was doing some overdubs for a Restless Heart remix.
And SII is the UK track order. Must be the UK mix as well? I think they just wanted these back in print under the Rhino banner. Probably will do DE's of these eventually.
Interesting. I'm not a huge fan of that album - on it's own, it's pretty good, but as a Whitesnake record it's really lacking. The title track's a corker though.
I was surprised David included the whole Trilogy behind the scenes footage on the reissue as it contains Tawny and him making out most of the time.
Is it safe to say that on Disc 2 of the 30th Anniversary Edition virtually all the live material was recorded in Tokyo, Japan? David Coverdale keeps mentioning "Tokyo" between tracks.
I think you might be correct... in June 1988. They did three gigs in Tokyo on that tour according to Setlist.fm Whitesnake Setlist at Yoyogi Daiichi Taiikukan, Tokyo
Sure. I'd just assumed the title referred to when the tour took place, rather than when these specific songs were recorded. I could well be wrong but that was my impression, tied in with the fact it's a bootleg.
This is the NY Seltzer commercial that Coverdale sang on before the '87 album was a hit. So catchy..."there is nothing in the world...there is nothing in the world..."
