Whitesnake Fan Pack On Sale Today!

Get your hands on the new Whitesnake album 3 weeks before it’s in the shop as part of the Whitesnake Fan Pack (also coming with a 132-page Whitesnake magazine, an official Whitesnake ‘WS logo’ pin badge and a giant, double-sided poster).

Classic Rock’s latest Fan Pack, dedicated to David Coverdale and Whitesnake, is on sale now.

The Whitesnake Fan Pack follows hard on the heels of Classic Rock’s acclaimed Slash and Motörhead packs. It includes a 132-page Snakezine together with Forevermore, Whitesnake’s brand spanking new studio album. There’s also an official Whitesnake ‘WS logo’ pin badge and a giant, double-sided poster.

Fans who buy the Whitesnake Fan Pack will be able to hear Forevermore three weeks before it goes on sale in the record stores.

What’s more, the Fan Pack version of Forevermore comes with two bonus live tracks – Slide it In and Cheap An’ Nasty – recorded live at Whitesnake’s headline set at the Castle Donington Monsters Of Rock festival in 1990. So that’s 13 brand new studio tracks plus two bonus ones – a lot of Whitesnake music to sink your fangs into!

The bonus live tracks will not be on the record-store version of Forevermore. What’s more, the CD cover for the Fan Pack Whitesnake album will feature exclusive artwork that will not be used on the record store equivalent.

The bonus live tracks will serve as an appetizer for Whitesnake’s forthcoming Live @ Donington 1990 DVD and double CD to be released in summer 2011.

The Fan Pack magazine – edited by Geoff Barton – contains a major, all-new interview with Whitesnake mainman David Coverdale, conducted at his home in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. Forevermore was recorded at Coverdale’s home studio and we were there while it was being made. Coverdale also talks us through the new album, track by track.

Additionally, we have new interviews with the other Whitesnake band members: guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, bassist Michael Devin and drummer Briian Tichy.

There’s a wealth of exclusive, never-before-seen pictures of Coverdale and his band, taken by top US photographer Travis Shinn while Forevermore was being made in Tahoe.

Elsewhere in the Fan Pack magazine, we talk to the musicians who knew Coverdale when he started out as a club singer in north-east England. We analyse the multi-platinum success of the band’s legendary 1987 album and also review Whitesnake’s entire back catalogue of albums. All this – and we list Coverdale’s Top 20 Friskiest Lyrics. Slide it in, indeed!

David Coverdale says:

“After such a rewarding love affair with Classic Rock and its readers these last few years, we are honoured beyond words to be given our very own very special ‘Snake edition.

“We hope you all enjoy the action-packed, high-octane hissstory [sic] and especially our new Forevermore album, and are inspired to come out and play with us this summer on the UK tour.

“We remain your obedient serpents…”

The Forevermore track listing is as follows:

Steal Your Heart Away; All Out Of Luck; Love Will Set You Free; Easier Said Than Done; Tell Me How; I Need You (Shine A Light); One Of These Days; Love And Treat Me Right; Dogs In The Street; Fare Thee Well; Whipping Boy Blues; My Evil Ways; Forevermore.
