(hennemusic) Whitesnake will present a collection of rare and unreleased acoustic performances recorded over the past two decades on the forthcoming package, "Unzipped."
Due October 19, the 5CD/DVD Super Deluxe Edition opens with a disc of acoustic versions of material from the band's recent studio albums, 2008's "Good To Be Bad" and 2011's "Forevermore"; disc two presents the North American debut of the 1997 unplugged package "Starkers In Tokyo" (previously issued exclusively in Japan) � which sees frontman David Coverdale and guitarist Adrian Vandenberg deliver songs from throughout the vocalist's career; discs three and four offer more live acoustic sets from several years; and, disc five features more than two dozen of Coverdale's unreleased, acoustic demos.
A DVD completes "Unzipped: Super Deluxe Edition" with live, unplugged performances filmed around the world between 1997 and 2015 � including a complete acoustic show recorded at the Cutting Room in New York in 2008 and the 1997 concert video "Starkers In Tokyo" � alongside additional bonus features that include an interview with Coverdale and Vandenberg, bootleg videos, the "Love Is Blind" music video and a slideshow.
"Some of my favorite love songs are on disc one of this collection� and I LOVE, love songs," says Coverdale. "Though reluctant at first to go 'unzipped' in public, the shows I did with Adrian Vandenberg in 1997, and then Doug Aldrich in 2006, were incredibly memorable� primarily because it gave me an opportunity to be 'at one' with the crowd� some songs ask for a softer touch� and those are the songs we have here in this collection.
"These songs are some of the most personal I've been involved with through my almost five decades as a professional musician, singer and composer�This is me at my most unguarded� innocent� writing, as I still do, for the fun� the expression� the poetry� all LOVE songs." Read more here.
