Whitesnake's Greatest Hits

Now, if like me you’re of a certain age where jeans worn were bleached, hair was long and your friends used enough hairspray to severely affect the ozone layer, then this disc is certainly a blast from the past. I’d forgotten how influential this London-formed band really were. Classics like Here I Go Again and Is this Love? introduced a softer, more emotional power ballard, with David Coverdale’s resonating voice echoing around the speakers. The disc itself is typical of the type, free from distortion but I’d wager it doesn’t have the warmth of some of my Whitesnake Vinyl records I possess. Nevertheless, if you hanker for a time when anything (including hairstyles) were possible, then this is a good purchase to make.

If you're into classic rock you will already know whitesnake. Cd has all the classics and sounds great 👍

Ecellant

Now I normally eschew compilation albums [and live albums but that rule too is about to be broken] in favour of studio albums, but with a dozen or more Whitesnake albums spread across forty years it was difficult to know where to start, or in truth go next as I already own the eponymous album aka "1987". So I decided to break my own rules and on this occasion [!] buy a compilation. But there's an array of Whitesnake compilations so it's difficult to know which one to pick if you're looking for a broad immersive Whitesnake experience. But after much searching, comparing and review reading I passed on "The Best of Whitesnake" (it has sound quality issues according to other reviewers); all sorts of collections including "The Whitesnake Collection", "The Silver Anniversary Collection", "The Definitive Collection"; and on the "The Early Years" and the "Gold" albums settling instead for "Whitesnake's Greatest Hits" in the hope that the title said it all. And the title does say it. Because this isn't a best of Whitesnake, it's Whitesnake's greatest hits and these all came from their US radio-friendly purple patch [not to be confused with their 2015 Deep Purple patch]. Now don't get me wrong, this is a good selection of great AOR songs and it really hits the spot if this is the spot you want to hit but because I own the eponymous "1987" album "Whitesnake's Greatest Hits" wasn't really what I wanted because there's a lot of duplication with six of the songs here featuring on the European version of the "1987" album albeit not all always in the same format. And of the remainder, three are drawn from 1984's "Slide It In" and four from 1989's "Slip of The Tongue" the albums either side of "1987" in the Whitesnake chronology [the remaining song was one of those "new" songs that bands so often use to promote their Best of/GH albums that isn't really a new song]. So lesson learned, don't break the rules and don't over think and on reflection I'd have been better off buying "Slide It In" and "Slip of The Tongue" to accompany my copy of "1987" and then perhaps the new "Rock" album.

Some odd version choices makes it a 4 out of 5, instead of 5. But it's still some of Whitesnakes greatest songs. I love it. :)

Very surprised im an old Heavy metal fan;but some of these songs will be around if to-days young get to hear them cos there songs that stick.Here i go again the special one but the cd well worth the money.I now like more Modern Country but still like to hear good heavy music too.Movie mars a very good seller.My taste in Music Varies Super Tramp another Favorite but i rate this an excellent buy 100%satifaction greatband great sound plus its songs you could sing at Kareoke yep you may sound a Fool but hey its fun.Certainly better than some of to-days Rap;Hip hop;which really doesnt require a lot of talent as the music is made for the Artist/s who only really speak and not sing.Yep i sound like an Old Fart but i still like folk who can play instruments Whitesnake can if youre a woman and youre Hubby liked Rock Im sure he would like it at xmas or birthday;Then he can listern while you shop avoid the arguments common cause most of us men hate the Asda/Tesco etc Run anyway.

Anyone reading this review probably knows Whitesnake's material, so I’ll just comment on the clarity of the new mix. The accompanying blu-ray brings me back to the fool old heyday of the 80's music video. While the humour, fashion and, heaven forbid, the hairstyles may have suffered the passage of time, the music is full of the searing guitar Whitesnake are known for. If you like your music turned up to 11, you have to invest in this cd/blu-ray package. Again, thanks to Amazon for their usual speed and packaging.

Love the CD

E tutto bello David coverdale e il massimo

Un best refait et remasterise pour les nouveaux passionnés du groupe car les anciens n'apprécient pas ces sons supplémentaires qui devient un fardeau sonore à éviter...

This cd is great I luv the remastered songs especially deeper the plus all the videos I highly recommend for ur whitesnake collection.

L'avevo cercato per anni.Sentirsi dire "fuori catalogo" era diventato ormai insopportabile e le versioni che si trovano in rete non rendono giustizia "sonora" come può solo il cd originale con la sua qualità inimitabile.E inimitabile è anche lo stile di questa formazione in parte composta dagli elementi di uno dei più grandi gruppi della storia internazionale del Rock.Carica,passione e romanticismo sfrenati.Ballate dense di pathos e Hits adrenaliniche dalla continuità di fondo concettuale "deep deep purple" con l'espressione a tratti più matura e consapevole dei propri mezzi di David Coverdale e dei validissimi musicisti che lo affiancano nel progetto Whitesnake.Un album da avere per chi ne capisce di musica.

CD en excelentes condiciones sin ningún arañazo, sonido de un cd nuevo, mucha seriedad en los productos. Estoy muy contento con esta compra.
