EMI. 2006. Album Details: 2006 Digitally Remastered Edition of the Group's 1979 Release. In October 1979, with Britain Still Reeling from the Aftershock of the Punk Rock Explosion, David Coverdale Rubbed Salt Into Safety-pin-inflicted Wounds by Giving Whitesnake's Second Album the Provocative Title of 'lovehunter'. It was Less a Case of Never Mind the Bollocks, More of Feel the Sheer Size of Those Damn Danglin' Things! at the Time, Coverdale Had Been Attracting the Attention of Certain Po-faced Elements of the British Music Press, who Didn't Approve of his (Or his Band's) So-called 'sexist' Stance. These Days, It's Difficult to See What the Fuss was all About. Back in the Late 1970s, to the Casual Observer Whitesnake were Purely Plying their Trade as a Mega-musicianly, Super-soulful, Mean-lovin' Blues Band. Meanwhile, Coverdale Himself was Gaining Generous Plaudits Among the Rock Cognoscenti. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - WTF??I think Amazon needs to pay me some dividends!! When this first came out Amazon was listing this for a price of between $35 and $45. I had to go elsewhere to get it for the price it was really worth. Now after paying $25 elsewhere, Amazon lists it for less than $20. What a rip off!!

Rating: - Hi Neil Murray!This has been one of Whitesnake's weakest albums IMHO, but the remaster has completely changed the sound of this album. The pumping bass of Neil Murray is very evident and gives the songs new life. Nice job EMI! Rating:  - Old school WhitesnakeLike many people, I first discovered Whitesnake in 1987 when they released their smash hit self-titled album. Growing up with that album, as well as the band's 1989 follow-up Slip of the Tongue, make listening to the band's early works a challenge. They're all good albums, but it's just not the Whitesnake I'm used to. Released in 1979, Lovehunter is the band's fifth album, counting Coverdale's early solo albums. To my ears, Lovehunter, while undeniably bluesy, is a bit more of a straightforward ...

The only album I realy listend to by the band was 'lovehunter', I also have some later albums which I listen to occasionally. I bought the 'Lovehunter' CD yesterday and here is my review based on long listening over 15 years and a couple yesterday. This is a bluesy rock album with some realy great songs. The classic here is 'Walking in the shadow of ... Read More |
