Never the one to disappoint fans, David Coverdale has been pretty much consistent with issuing the WHITESNAKE recordings that are at his disposal, and while the ensemble’s early material still seems to be out of the singer’s reach, the extra mile he goes when it comes to adding content to box sets and keeping their price reasonable is another reason to love and respect the Guv’nor. And now, perhaps sensing that quite a few of the band’s relatively recent CD or CD/DVD packages became hard to find, he decided to combine those in a standalone audio-only release.
What’s to be out on April 25th under the title “Access All Areas: Live” is eight discs that were previously part of the following:
* CD 1 – Live In The Still Of The Night
* CD 2 & 3 – Live In The Shadow Of The Blues
* CD 4 & 5 – Live In Japan
* CD 6 & 7 – Made In Britain / The World Record
* CD 8 – The Purple Tour
Factor in a booklet and a poster, plus the price tag – again – and all of this feels pretty neat.
