Greatest Hits: Revisited, Remixed, Remastered / Whitesnake CD+blu-ray edition

SDE Reader Rating

3.4

Whitesnake are to release a remixed edition of their Greatest Hits with a special CD+blu-ray edition available which includes all the videos.

Whitesnake founder and lead singer David Coverdale had 16 tracks remixed and remastered for this collection. He explains: “We’ve definitely expanded on the original Greatest Hits, took them all out of the sonic time capsule of the ’80s and ’90s, and brought them up to date, sound-wise … as always, we have the original albums for those who consider them holy relics.”

An example of updates to these newly remixed tracks includes Hammond organ on more than half of the songs, courtesy of keyboardist Derek Sherinian and new performances by former Whitesnake guitarist Adrian Vandenberg on ‘The Deeper The Love’ and ‘Judgement Day’. As well as these newly-recorded additions, Coverdale found unused vintage performances by guitarist John Sykes that didn’t appear on the original recordings, including a solo on ‘Slide It In’ and rhythm guitar on ‘Give Me All Your Love’. 

This new release is available on 2LP vinyl, CD and perhaps most interestingly a CD+blu-ray edition with the blu-ray featuring all the videos (and a bonus feature of Coverdale ‘unboxing’ some of the previous releases). It’s rather unusual for labels to issue videos even on the DVD format these days, so the blu-ray is definitely welcome. SDE has enquired about sound options on this disc and will report back.

The release dates are all over the place, with the CD+blu-ray to be issued on 3 June, the 2LP vinyl slated for 20 May and the standard CD scheduled for 17 June (although already out in some territories.

The band’s farewell tour (with Europe) starts tomorrow night in Dublin, before moving to the UK. Tickets available here.
