Format:Audio CD
Was there ever a better Whitesnake album,im not sure,a fantastic release in its day and the remaster adds 5 bonus tracks.The eagle eyed fan will have spotted that the cover is a rejigged version of the photo on the back of the Trouble original album,hastily substituted at the time for a rather risque sleeve presented to Mr Coverdale by the artist that produced the Love Hunter sleeve.
Anyway,this is supreme 'Snake and indeed the album doesnt have a poor track,the original disc was nine glorious slices of Whitesnake from the opening hit single 'Fool For Your Lovin' which just struts out of the speaker followed by a double helping of sassy blues via 'Sweet Talker' and the title track,followed by 2 glorious Free/Bad Co influenced masterpieces in 'Carry Your Load' & 'Blindman',the former featuring superb vocals,the latter a reworking of a track from his first solo disc WHITESNAKE(1977),it was excellent then,sublime here before the wonderouss acoustic led 'Aint Gonna Cry No More',a truly epic Snake track with harmonies to die for,these six tracks as good as it gets and should always form the backbone of any Whitesnake set list,are you paying attention Mr Coverdale.Although almost impossible to follow what went before the last three tracks are excellent in their own right 'Love Man',tongue in cheek rythmn and blues,'Black and Blue',with quo riffin to the fore,and a typical declaration of his love for women on 'She's A Woman',fantastic stuff.
Bonus tracks: 1 studio track 'Love For Sale' an average work in progress if truth be told,the lyrics would be salvaged elsewhere in future releases.
The icing on the cake is the remaining 4 live tracks ,30 mins live from Reading 1979,excellent versions of 'Aint No Love...','Mistreated','Love Hunter' &'Breakdown',it really is time someone released the complete 1979 and 1980 radio recordings from Reading so we can retire our ageing copies,mine are still on cassette,that ages me!!!
As before the remaster is a little sharper than i remember my original CD,the bass seems a little further in the background,the booklet as usual excellent.

This was the very 1st 'snake album I heard, and it's still my favourite. I remember hearing the lead off track "Fool For Your Loving" when it hit the charts in 1980, and my big sister telling me- "wait till you hear this singer- he just makes it sound so easy". These words have incredibly stuck with me for many years as that's exactly what David Coverdale does on this record. I think this album contains his best ever vocals in terms of depth, feeling and emotion, and to be frank, DC could wipe the floor with any other rock singers around in 1980. The band were augmented by the addition of Ian Paice on drums and for the 1st time on record, sound like the finished article. Those who only know WS as the big-haired AOR outfit they became in the late 80's will find this music a revelation. It certainly has much more integrity than anything recorded from 1984 onwards. If you like blues rock music with passionate vocals, it doesn;t get much better than this.

Most of the previous reviewers have hit the proverbial nail on the head, but just a mention of the bonus track, Love for Sale. This marries most of the lyrics to Hit & Run, from the next album, to the music of Rock'n'Roll Angels, from the one after that! Confused? Anyway, it's interesting to hear. And the album itself - priceless.

Dreadful remaster
Great band and album, unfortunately the remaster is apalling and another release where the dynamic range has been strangled to the point it makes your ears bleed. Read more

Brought back good memories from the 80's. Some of Whitesnakes best is on this album.

Whitesnake's finest
This classic album was recorded seven years before Whitesnake broke through in America, having changed their sound from hard, bluesy rock n' roll to big-haired pop metal, so the... Read more

Great music - poor remaster
Don't get me wrong - this album is a great place to start listening to Whitesnake - just DON'T buy the 2007 remasters if you value the top range of your hearing! Read more
