If the reissues of two WHITESNAKE albums – the recently released “Slide It In” and the forthcoming “Slip Of The Tongue” – made the band’s aficionados think of a similar treatment for another one, “Lovehunter” that saw the light in 1979 (although imagining its cover in today’s stores is difficult), there’s nothing to wait for. As it turned out during a Twitter exchange (see below) between David Coverdale and this scribe, the singer has no control over his ensemble’s early output. A sad state of affairs, really, given that 2011’s “Box ‘O’ Snakes” didn’t offer any bonus material, while Coverdale’s archives must be ripe with previously unheard tracks.
Because I like to redecorate & rearrange the furniture every so often…keep things fresh …Lovehunter belongs to my former manager’s estate so, I can’t put similar tributes or box sets together as I do with the albums starting with Slide It In…
