Whitesnake MCMLXXVII (reissue) vinyl

The reissue of David Coverdale's 1977 debut solo album, now presented under the Whitesnake band name, is an exciting opportunity to revisit the roots of one of rock's most iconic voices. Originally released following Deep Purple's split, this album, produced by ex-Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, is a key piece of the Whitesnake legacy, showcasing the early formation of the band's sound. With the recent passing of David Coverdale, this reissue is a fitting tribute, highlighting the journey of a singer who would go on to define the sound of an era. The album features future Whitesnake guitarist Micky Moody, whose collaboration with Coverdale on tracks like 'Blindman' and the title track 'Whitesnake' hints at the powerful direction the band would later take. From the r&b-infused rocker 'Lady' to the soulful 'Peace Lovin' Man', this album is an excellent first solo effort by the artist. This reissue is a celebration of David Coverdale's enduring legacy and the foundation of a band that would go on to rock the world.
