Whitesnake celebrates 30th anniversary of US No. 1 hit Here I Go Again




David Coverdale is inviting fans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Whitesnake’s chart-topping US hit, “Here I Go Again.”

“Why don’t you have a drink with me. Cheers!”, says Coverdale in a video posted on his social media sites.

The song from the band’s 1987 self-titled album reached No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 on October 10, 1987.

“Here I Go Again” first appeared on Whitesnake’s 1982 album, “Saints & Sinners”, before it was re-recorded for the 1987 project, which went on to US sales of more than 8 million copies and Top 5 chart status in several countries around the world.

An early draft of the tune is featured on the just-released multiple editions of an expanded 30th anniversary reissue of the self-titled album.

The song is featured on a disc entitled “Evolutions 87”, which delivers a series of demos and rehearsal takes of every song from the original record.

The 4CD/DVD "Whitesnake: Super Deluxe Edition" includes the original album with newly remastered sound, unreleased live and studio recordings, classic music videos, concert footage, a thirty-minute documentary, a 60-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 the rocker.

2CD and 2LP Deluxe Editions present the newly-remastered album alongside a selection of unreleased bonus recordings, while a single-disc version of the project is also available.
