Whitesnake basics
This is an excellent CD that introduce the buyer to different periods of Whitesnake. . from the Blues Rock of the 70's to the Hard Rock of the 80's and the more relaxed projects of the 90's. A must in your Rock seccion of your CD collection.


This is a MUST for Whitesnake fans !!

This 2 CD collection is a good 2 and a half hour long tour down Whitesnake's greatest moments in their career. What can one say about this great band ? For all us people who are still touched by good rock music like Whitesnake , this has got to be the ultimate collection of a band , along side the "Forty Licks - Best Of Rolling Stones" . I could write endless comments about each song . All you have to do is let each song bring back good memories of when rock music was written based on emotions and passion !

I was fortunate enough to get to catch Whitesnake on their Silver Tour this last summer and all i can say is the David and the boys still have that magic !

Few male rock voices can still bring tears to my eyes when you hear classics like "Hear I Go Again" or "Is This Love" and so on !

This is just an excellent collection .


A good overview, although not as good as it could have been

The balance between latter-day Whitesnake's big-haired late-80s pop metal and the original line-up's much rawer blues-rock sound is not perfect. Unlike previous Whitesnake compilations, "The Silver Anniversary Collection" draws from all the groups' albums (as well as serving as a vehicle for David Coverdale's solo career, from which it includes a couple of songs). . . "The Silver Anniversary Collection" leans too heavily towards the former, while ignoring early-80s classics like "Love Hunter" and "Trouble" from the two similarly-titled albums, "Crying In The Rain" from "Saints & Sinners", and "Don't Break My Heart Again" and "Wine, Women And Song" from "Come An' Get It". And "Fool For Your Loving" and "Here I Go Again" are included in their hair-metal guises rather than the original (and much better) versions.

But there is still a lot of good stuff here, including the early cuts "Love To Keep You Warm", "Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues", "Ready An' Willing", "Blindman", and Bobby 'Blue' Bland's "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City", as well as the new, acoustic track "Love Is Blind", and the rowdy "Guilty Of Love" from the "Slide It In"-album. And the pop-metal stuff wasn't THAT bad, I guess. . . "The Deeper The Love" (from 1989's "Slip Of The Tongue") is actually pretty good, and not too bothered by synthesizers.

All in all, "The Silver Anniversary Collection" boasts a good blend of blues, rock, metal and ballads. . . not quite as good as it should have been, but an adequate career overview for the casual fan.


Outstanding Retrospective!
There are tracks from the old, original Whitesnake days (the original version of "Fool For Your Lovin'" is here!), Whitesnake 80's era, Coverdale/Page and solo Coverdale. This is a must-have if you are a Whitesnake fan! There is not one weak track on this album. Each disc is 77 minutes long and all the tracks have been personally selected by David Coverdale. The liner notes contain an in-depth discussion with David, his history, the tracks he decided to include here and why. Each and every track here have been digitally remastered and sound incredible. The stuff from 1978 sounds as good as the stuff from today! The album is well worth the import price and it's a crying shame it has not been released in the States. Get it!.
