Whitesnake/UK 1978

The album includes a coupling of excellent live recordings that are essential to talking about early Whitesnake. First, (Disc 1) contains a 43-minute FM radio recording from their appearance at the Alcamar Pop Festival in the Netherlands on June 17, 1978. This is the best take of a stereo line recording obtained from a member of the band. The previous release was a mono recording, but this work is perfectly stereo separated, and the quality is significantly improved. However, although the gaps between each song are edited, this precious and vivid soundboard recording from this period, which can be heard in the highest sound quality ever, is definitely a must-listen for all Snake fans. In addition, (Disc 2) contains about 70 minutes of the Ashington performance in the UK on May 7th of the same period. This was recorded with a good enough audience recording for this period, and since there are few good recordings of the second period of Snake with Pete Soyly on keyboards, this is definitely a must-have for fans who have not heard it. This set, which is only available at this time, features “Lady” from his first solo album, “Lady Luck” from Purple, and the new song “Come On”, and is a must-have item that will inevitably become a staple of his early albums.
