Publisher's Synopsis
Whitesnake are a hard rock band formed during 1978, in Middlesbrough, Cleveland, north-east England, UK, by David Coverdale, following his departure from the blues rock group Deep Purple, to which Whitesnake's early material has been compared, before they began moving toward a better selling rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band had become more successful, releasing a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints and Sinners (1982) then Slide It In (1984), which was their first to make the US charts, being certified 2x platinum.
