WHITESNAKE – Into the Light: The Solo Albums [6-CD Box Set] (2024) *HQ*
David Coverdale, the unique voice behind Whitesnake and former Deep Purple frontman, sees his solo work shine brightly in a new collection featuring remixed, remastered, and revisited versions of his solo albums WhiteSnake (1977), NorthWinds (1978), and Into the Light (2000) in a 6-disc box set titled “Into the Light: The Solo Albums“.
The upcoming boxed set features two versions of Coverdale’s solo albums: one newly remixed to deliver a more dynamic sonic experience and a second remastered from the original recordings for those who want to revisit the classic sound.
The remixed versions feature significant updates (particularly to ‘WhiteSnake’ and ‘NorthWinds’) and utilize cutting-edge audio separation software. The track “Time & Again” from NorthWinds benefited from innovative voice extraction technology, allowing for new string and piano arrangements that Coverdale has envisioned for decades.
Into the Light, Coverdale’s third solo album boasts an impressive musical lineup that includes guitarists Earl Slick (David Bowie) and Doug Bossi, bassist Marco Mendoza (who later joined Whitesnake), legendary drummer Denny Carmassi (Montrose, Whitesnake), and keyboardist Mike Finningan (Jimi Hendrix).
The remixed version of the album expands the original with songs like “Let’s Talk It Over” and “All The Time In The World.” The collection also offers additional remixes, demos, and outtakes from the album, including “With All Of My Heart.” Coverdale wrote the song for his wife and considers it one of the best he’s ever written.
The set also revisits NorthWinds, and WhiteSnake Coverdale’s first two solo albums recorded immediately after leaving Deep Purple. Both albums have been reimagined and re-sequenced for the upcoming collection. NorthWinds includes some new arrangements and additional tracks like “Sweet Mistreater” and “Shame The Devil, Tell The Truth,” breathing new life into this classic.
WhiteSnake features impossible remixes thanks to AI sound separation softwares, courtesy of technology that has only been available in the last couple of years.
The collection also unearths several unreleased demos from Coverdale’s archives, including songs destined for future Whitesnake albums. “Lay Your Love On Me” would later appear as “Lay Down Your Love” on 2008’s Good To Be Bad, while “Crazy ’Bout Cha” evolved into “Whipping Boy Blues” on 2011’s Forevermore.
The set even goes back to 1968 with demos Coverdale recorded as a teenager, including an early version of “Sunny Days,” a track that would appear on his solo debut, WhiteSnake.
While Coverdale originally released these albums as a solo artist, he now considers them Whitesnake albums.
A MUST box set.

Hey bud. Is there any way you could upload this to Rapigator? The Turbobit link is virtually impossible to complete the download due to its limited speed and thus download time.
Cheers.
