"Whitesnake: Super Deluxe Edition"   will be available on October 27 (pushed back from the previously announced October 6) for $49.98.

The music comes with a sixty-page hardbound book that's filled with rare and unseen photos from the era, an extended essay based on new interviews with   Coverdale , plus a booklet of the album's lyrics, handwritten by   Coverdale . The audio will also be available via digital download and streaming services.

Three other versions of   "Whitesnake"   will also be available the same day. A Deluxe Edition will be available in both 2-CD ($19.98) and 2-LP ($29.98) versions, each including the newly remastered album expanded with a selection of unreleased bonus recordings. A single-disc version of the newly remastered album will also be available.

This also marks the first release under a newly signed catalog deal with   WHITESNAKE   and   Rhino Entertainment , the catalog division of   Warner Music Group . This new deal includes both the North American and Japanese rights, marking the first time a substantial amount of the   WHITESNAKE   catalog will reside under   Warner Music Group   worldwide.

"It gives me great joy to finally have so much of my   WHITESNAKE   catalog all under the same roof with the   Warner   family and I'm thrilled to be now working with this tremendous team on a worldwide basis," says   Coverdale . "I have great memories of being with   Warner   back in my days with   DEEP PURPLE . Then when I was with   Geffen , they were distributed by   Warner , so it feels like coming home to now have   WHITESNAKE   there. This elaborate reissue is the perfect project to kick off the new relationship."

" WHITESNAKE   is one of the all-time great rock n' roll bands, with   David   being an absolute icon as a vocalist and front man," says   Rhino   president   Mark Pinkus . "We are absolutely thrilled to now have so much of the   WHITESNAKE   catalog with   Warner   on a global basis and are excited for the fans to see what great releases we have planned for the coming years."

Soon after its release in April 1987,   "Whitesnake"   became a huge success around the world, selling multi million copies. It peaked at #2 on the   Billboard   album chart and spawned four popular singles:   "Still Of The Night" ,   "Give Me All Your Love" ,   "Is This Love"   (which reached #2) and the #1 hit   "Here I Go Again" .

"Whitesnake: Super Deluxe Edition"   comes with an entire disc of unreleased live performances featuring   Adrian Vandenberg ,   Vivian Campbell   and   Tommy Aldridge , recorded during the band's 1987-88 tour. The music includes live versions of several tracks from   "1987" , plus   WHITESNAKE   classics   "Slide It In",   "Love Ain't No Stranger"   and   "Slow An' Easy" .

An additional disc spotlights the creative process behind   "Whitesnake"   with a selection of elevent unreleased demo and rehearsal recordings, including early versions of nearly every song on the album called   "87 Evolutions" . The final disc introduces newly remixed versions the album's four singles, and includes rare radio mixes, as well as songs from   "87 Versions" , an EP released exclusively in Japan.

The DVD from   "Whitesnake: Super Deluxe Edition"   includes music videos for the four singles, all of which have been carefully restored and remixed in 5.1 Surround Sound for the first time ever. In addition, the DVD also features a new thirty-minute documentary about the making of   "Whitesnake" , a new promo video made especially for this set of the 1988 version of   "Here I Go Again"   and unreleased live footage from the 1987-88 tour.

According to   Billboard , a   WHITESNAKE   home video will follow on Record Store Black Friday (November 24) as well as a coffee table book chronicling   "The Purple Album"   cycle from 2015. An all-new   WHITESNAKE   studio album is planned for 2018, along with a world tour.

"It was a lot of fun to do,"   Coverdale   told   Billboard   of the   "Whitesnake"   reissue, "because I don't go back a lot. I kind of learn from the past to apply those lessons to the future and the present. But my gratitude for (the album) is beyond words. I've only ever gone into a studio to try to improve on the last record...There was no, 'Right, I'm gonna sell thirty-odd million fucking records!' It was amazing, just amazing, so it's great to revisit all of this."

Coverdale   also revealed that he has been getting together with   WHITESNAKE   guitarists   Reb Beach   and   Joel Hoekstra   for regular writing sessions for a new album that will lively arrive late spring of 2018. "I'm actually very excited about it because it's the first opportunity both   Reb   and   Joel   and I have actually had to sit down and write together,"   Coverdale   said of what will be   WHITESNAKE 's first set of original material since 2011's   "Forevermore" . "There's a lot of what one would refer to as arena rock;   Reb   and I were talking the other night over dinner and he said, 'Man, there's so many songs here that no matter where we play — Portugal or Brazil or Tokyo — they're gonna get this hook. They're gonna be punching the fuckin' air and have a great night.' And I went, 'Oh, absolutely — and more than usual,' which is great. I can't do throwaway shit. The only reason I'm doing this record are the songs are gonna be a great   WHITESNAKE   album for   WHITESNAKE   fans — and the band. It's very exciting."
