EMI Box 'O' Snakes: The Sunburst Years 1978-1982

Review "Ere's a lotta Whitesnake for ya! Nine CDs, a DVD and even a vinyl EP. Included here is all of the music Whitesnake released on the Sunburst label between '78 and '82: five studio albums, plus the legendary Live...In The Heart Of The City, and - reproduced on seven-inch vinyl, for those who still have a record deck - the debut four-track EP Snakebite. Its deluxe packaging includes a 90-page hardback book, featuring a 10,000-word interview with coverdale and an introductory essay by Classic Rock's Geoff Barton. Most temptingly of all, there is previously unreleased material: two CDs of BBC live recordings from the 1979 and 1980 Reading Festivals, and on DVD, 45 minutes of so-called 'official bootleg' footage from a 1980 concert in Washington DC." -- Classic rock - November 2011 - 8/10 Product Description Box `O' Snakes - The Sunburst Years 1978 - 1982, contains: 11 Discs (9 Audio CDs, a DVD Video and 7" White Vinyl EP), all overseen by David Coverdale.
