By 1980 another ex-DEEP PURPLE veteran Ian Paice was on the WHITESNAKE drum stool which had many critics pondering whether Coverdale was attempting to re-create DEEP PURPLE. UK touring had GARY MOORE's new act G FORCE as openers. The album 'Ready n' Willing', recorded at Ridge Farm Studios by Martin Birch, broke new ground for the band when the single 'Fool For Your Loving' crashed into the charts. A song originally written for Blues giant B.B. KING by Moody and Coverdale it turned out so good they kept it for themselves. Keeping the band on the boil the previously only available in Japan live double album 'Live... In The Heart Of The City' was also released later that year. WHITESNAKE toured in Europe opening for AC/DC and in America supporting JETHRO TULL.
