The set contains updated versions of classic tracks like “Still Of The Night,” “Here I Go Again,” and “Is This Love.”
“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,” says Coverdale, “as always, we have the original albums for those who consider them holy relics.”
The compilation focuses extensively on three blockbuster albums the band released during the 1980s: 1984’s “Slide It In” (2x platinum), 1987’s “Whitesnake” (8x platinum), and 1989’s “Slip Of The Tongue” (platinum). But the collection goes deeper with songs like “Sweet Lady Luck,” a b-side on the 12” single for “The Deeper The Love,” and “Forevermore,” the title track from the band’s 2011 album.
“Greatest Hits” features a staggered series of release dates: it is now available on digital and streaming services worldwide, with some market breakdowns as follows:
- CD out now in Europe
- 2LP out now in Europe
- CD/Blu-ray out June 3 in Europe
- CD & 2LP out on June 17 in North America
- CD/Blu-ray out July 15 in North America
Whitesnake are currently playing shows on a recently-launched farewell world tour.
