4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview, although not as good as it could have been, July 26, 2003

This review is from: Silver Anniversary Collection (Audio CD)

Unlike previous Whitesnake compilations, "The Silver Anniversary Collection" draws from all the groups' albums (as well as serving as a vehicle for David Coverdale's solo career, from which it includes a couple of songs).

The balance between latter-day Whitesnake's big-haired late-80s pop metal and the original line-up's much rawer blues-rock sound is not perfect..."The Silver Anniversary Collection" leans too heavily towards the former, while ignoring early-80s classics like "Love Hunter" and "Trouble" from the two similarly-titled albums, "Crying In The Rain" from "Saints & Sinners", and "Don't Break My Heart Again" and "Wine, Women And Song" from "Come An' Get It". And "Fool For Your Loving" and "Here I Go Again" are included in their hair-metal guises rather than the original (and much better) versions.

But there is still a lot of good stuff here, including the early cuts "Love To Keep You Warm", "Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues", "Ready An' Willing", "Blindman", and Bobby 'Blue' Bland's "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City", as well as the new, acoustic track "Love Is Blind", and the rowdy "Guilty Of Love" from the "Slide It In"-album. And the pop-metal stuff wasn't THAT bad, I guess..."The Deeper The Love" (from 1989's "Slip Of The Tongue") is actually pretty good, and not too bothered by synthesizers.

All in all, "The Silver Anniversary Collection" boasts a good blend of blues, rock, metal and ballads...not quite as good as it should have been, but an adequate career overview for the casual fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Retrospective!, June 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Silver Anniversary Collection (Audio CD)

This is a must-have if you are a Whitesnake fan! There is not one weak track on this album. There are tracks from the old, original Whitesnake days (the original version of "Fool For Your Lovin'" is here!), Whitesnake 80's era, Coverdale/Page and solo Coverdale. Each disc is 77 minutes long and all the tracks have been personally selected by David Coverdale. The liner notes contain an in-depth discussion with David, his history, the tracks he decided to include here and why. Each and every track here have been digitally remastered and sound incredible. The stuff from 1978 sounds as good as the stuff from today! The album is well worth the import price and it's a crying shame it has not been released in the States. Get it!
