Whitesnake Access All Areas Live

After years of reissues and remixes from hard-rockers Whitesnake at Rhino Records, you'd be forgiven for wondering what the label could still do with David Coverdale's catalogue. That question is now answered with a box set assembling remastered editions of five latter-day live records. Access All Areas: Live, available April 25, is an 8CD collection offering sets recorded between 2004 and 2015 and released over the last two decades. The albums featured are Live...In the Still of the

Wings, Venus and Mars (Atmos Mix) (MPL) (Apple / Amazon) Yesterday saw the release of a half-speed mastered vinyl LP of Wings' fourth studio album, 1975's

Jon Lord Before I Forget

"Jon Lord and Whitesnake fans must occasionally want to be introspective," reckoned Deep Purple and Whitesnake founding member Jon Lord, "and I'd rather they did so with my music than Barry Manilow's."  Lord was explaining the impetus for his third solo album, 1982's Before I Forget.  Cherry Red and Purple Records have recently reissued the composer-producer-keyboardist's Before I Forget on CD in an expanded edition bringing together bonus tracks included on the 1999 and 2012 editions.
