The tune was originally the fourth single from the band’s sixth studio set, “Slide It In”, which reached US gold status (500,000 copies) two years later and eventually went on to sell more than 2 million copies in the region.
“It’s still a crowd pleaser…we play it at every Whitesnake concert,” says Coverdale. “This is a brand new mix; it’s scorching! I’m thrilled with it, absolutely.”
The 2022 project contains updated versions of classic tracks like “Still Of The Night,” “Here I Go Again,” and “Is This Love.”
The compilation focuses extensively on three blockbuster albums the band released during the 1980s: 1984’s “Slide It In”, 1987’s “Whitesnake”, and 1989’s “Slip Of The Tongue”, and includes deep cuts and rarities.
“Greatest Hits” will feature a staggered series of release dates: it is now available on digital and streaming services worldwide, with some market breakdowns as follows:
- CD, 2LP, CD/Blu-ray out now 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.
