Artist: WHITESNAKE
Album: COME AND GET IT (CD)

Release date: 1981
Media type: CD

1981 again saw WHITESNAKE with chart success with their album 'Come n Get It'. This album was cut at JOHN LENNON's former abode Tittenhurst Park in Ascot, then home to another Beatle - RINGO STARR. The resultant tour of Britain climaxed in a five night sold out stint at London's Hammersmith Odeon. The band would also headline the annual Castle Donington 'Monsters Of Rock' festival. However, upon completion of European dates, Coverdale dissolved the band. A series of opportunities then presented themselves as, in January of 1982 the singer, prompted by his management, tested the waters with the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP. Although Coverdale and Schenker jammed this proposed union came to naught. Next in line would be BLACK SABBATH. Coverdale met guitarist TONY IOMMI and keyboard player Geoff Nicholls in Los Angeles to discuss his replacing Ronnie James Dio. Once more, this alliance too was to lead nowhere.
