WHITESNAKE – Still… Good To Be Bad [4-CD Box Set] (Remixed, Remastered & Unreleased) (2023) *HQ*

WHITESNAKE explores the group’s 2008 return with the upcoming retrospective, “Still… Good To Be Bad”. The music will be available in different configurations on April 28, a few days after the original album’s 15th anniversary.
This ”Still… Good To Be Bad [Box Set]” has 4 CD’s: two new versions of the original album (one remastered and the other remixed), and selection of rare & unreleased studio. The package also includes a Blu-ray.
There will be other configurations; 2LP blue vinyl, 2CD deluxe, and Single CD edition. But this box set is therefore the only place to find the rarities.
This content includes new alternate mixes which also feature new background vocals from the ‘Hook City Harlots’, Cami Thompson, Misty Rae & Jackie Landrum, plus the ‘Hook City Horns’. There’s a version of ‘All For Love’ that features a different guitar solo by Doug Aldrich and the collection also includes ‘Evolutions’, a disc of unreleased recordings that presents a guide through the genesis of each song, from initial ideas with rough vocal melodies, lyrics and riffs through to finished demos and full band production versions.

The spark of the original album can be traced back to when Whitesnake founder and lead singer David Coverdale reconvened the band for a tour celebrating the band’s 25th anniversary, as he recalls:
“We went out for two months and came back nine months later, and I had a big smile on my face and felt really energized.… I thought—‘Wow! I’ve got thirty years of music here that I can go out and play, and I don’t have to promote a new record…I can just have fun out there.’”

Coverdale enjoyed a newly forged creative friendship with guitarist Doug Aldrich, not only as a co-writer but, as a co-producer: “Doug & I got on so well, I suggested we sit down with our acoustic guitars & see what unfolded…I was thrilled how effortless it was to create new Whitesnake music with him…”

”Still… Good To Be Bad [Box Set]” is very good. Especially the new 2023 remix revealing a fresh listen. Also the versions with Hook City Harlots give the songs a different feel. And the ‘Evolution’ takes are really interesting.
