While WHITESNAKE‘s early albums, the expansions of which are so eagerly expected by fandom, remain unavailable to David Coverdale who would love to turn those into box set as he did with the band’s catalogue from “Slide It In” onwards, their latter-day records slowly but surely undergo the same treatment. And if some aficionados may have wondered why 2008’s “Good To Be Bad” deserved a deluxe version, no one was disillusioned upon hearing the final product, so it should come as no surprise that 2011’s “Forevermore” will make the equally impressive “Revisited, Remixed, Remastered” package.
Out on September 26th on four CDs and Blu-ray, it’s an exhaustive look at how this record emerged and how it could sound in alternative dimensions. A few of the tracks on offer have been previously available in different editions of the album, yet the bulk of the box set’s contents is here for the first time ever – to stay forevermore, of course.
