Whitesnake 1981
Whitesnake - Book - by Jerry Bloom
(2024)
Having been formed in 1978, following two solo albums from David
Coverdale, Whitesnake steadily built up its audience. By 1979, along
with fellow original band members Micky Moody, Bernie Marsden and Neil
Murray; Whitesnake also featured Coverdale’s former Deep Purple band
mates Jon Lord and Ian Paice. 1980 saw Whitesnake release the very
successful Ready An’ Willing, as well as the live album Live… In The
Heart Of The City.
But 1981 was even more successful with the
release of the band’s fourth studio album Come An’ Get It — the band’s
highest placed album, reaching number two in the UK charts. ‘Don't
Break My Heart Again’, the single taken from the album was also a top
twenty hit. 1981 proved to be both a blessing and a curse for the
band.
With what is considered by many fans to be the classic
Whitesnake line-up, it was their commercial peak at the time, as the
band toured Europe, Japan and America promoting Come An’ Get It. Bernie
Marsden and Jon Lord also worked on solo albums in 1981. Partly as a
result of internal management issues and discontent, 1981 would also see
thebreak-up of the classic line-up and for many fans things were never
the same again.
This unique book is based around the
unpublished photos of Whitesnake in 1981 by AndyPhillips. These photos
were taken on stage, off stage and backstage, with Phillips having
fullaccess during the German tour. The photos are complimented by a
narrative and timeline by Jerry Bloom, including album and gig reviews
that charts one of the most eventful years in Whitesnake’s history.
