EMI UK will release a 17 song compilation (remastered) end of March... mostly the early stuff: Fool For Your Loving Don't Break My Heart Again Love Ain't No Stranger Is This Love Now You're Gone Give Me All Your Love Ready An' Willing Guilty Of Love Would I Lie To You Long Way From Home The Deeper The Love Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City Too Many Tears Give Me More Time Standing In The Shadow Here I Go Again Still Of The Night
Propably hair-metal versions for "Fool For Your Loving" & "Here I Go Again". The track list is better than I expected, but still too much from the pop-metal albums. Where's "Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues"?
Didn't we just endure a 2CD set of Whitesnake's 3 albums on 2CDs? I think it was called "Here I Go Again". Takes care of Slide It In, Whitesnake, Slip Of The Tounge: The 2CD set is actually well done, as far as material. Includes the remixes, etc. Ah, a slice of decedant high school! As far as the mastering, it's as fried as the Universal 1CD compilation. I doubt the EMI is going to be much different, but...At least it's not an import...
This was released 2003-03-24, but now they list another for release 2003-05-12 titled Silver Collection. (no tracklisting available). Do you know anything about this Claus ? http://www.cdon.com/main.phtml?navroot=906 search for whitesnake ______________ SI
The 25th Anninversary Collection is a 2CD set handpicked by Coverdale with suggestions sent in from his boardmembers of whitesnake.com (including myself). It's a really great set list: Fool for your loving (original version) Don't break my heart again Hit an run The time is right for love Love ain't no stranger Too many tears (ITL version) Pride and joy Victim of love Judgement day Is this love Take a look at yourself Straight for the heart Now you're gone (US remix) Looking for love Sailing ships (Starkers version) Soldier of fortune (Starkers version) Walking in the shadow of the blues (Live in the heart version) Ready an willing (Live in the heart version) Disc 2 Into the light (presumably followed by the River Song) Slow an easy She give me Shake my tree Guilty of love The deeper the love Blindman Love to keep you warm Love is blind Ain't gonna cry no more Slave Lonely days lonely nights Give me all your love Till the day I die Ain't no love in the heart of the city Here I go again (87 version) Still of the night We wish you well I'll pick this up instead of that singles collection. Remember that the Geffen Anthology wasn't released in the UK and this new Anthology isn't going to be released in the US. These 2 UK Greatest Hits collections are the first career spanning sets of Coverdale's solo and Whitesnake stuff.
That 17 song collection is at number 4(!) on the Finnish album chart. I'm surprised. http://www.yle.fi/top40/index.php?page=lista_top40 I prefer the Jon Lord -era Whitesnake, so I'll buy the 2CD version. After hearing your reviews on sound quality, of course. How is the remastering on the single CD?
I received the 2 CD remaster today... compared the compilation with the original CD pressings... I'm really pleased with the sound. Very good job by ??? unfortunately no mastering credits in the booklet...
I was disappointed by the recent 2CD collection that combined all the Geffen Records releases. Totally fried, but there were a few rarities. As far as old stuff, I am probably going to try and dig up some old vinyl and do needle drops. Some of the import CDs are rather expensive. To anyone reading this, please avoid the Axe Killer collection that features 1987 and Slip Of The Tongue. The mastering on that is so loud, I think that is when I first realized how bad mastering can be. To think that I actually searched for that before the recent 2CD remaster.....
