British Hard Rock and Metal band Whitesnake rose to fame in the mid- to late 1980s. This fall, Craft Recordings will revisit this period with vinyl reissues of Slide It In (1984), Whitesnake (1987), and Slip of the Tongue (1989). Including “Here I Go Again,” “Is This Love,” “Still of the Night,” and “Fool for Your Loving,” these multi-platinum albums made a major impact on the music of the 1980s and beyond.

Arriving September 18, 2026,the titles return to vinyl in their original U.S. 1-LP configurations. Alongside the wide release on standard black vinyl, exclusive color pressings include the self-titled Whitesnake on “Tan Smoke” (via Walmart) and “Stone Marble” (Revolver). Fans can also find Whitesnake on limited-edition “Gold Black Ice,” alongside Slide It In on “Onyx” and Slip of the Tongue on “Crimson Moon,” exclusively via CraftRecordings.com. All three albums are available to pre-order and stream.

Founded in 1978 by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee David Coverdale, Whitesnake was the next chapter in a career that had already brought him international attention as the frontman of Deep Purple. After appearing on the influential Deep Purple albums Burn, Stormbringer, and Come Taste the Band, Coverdale formed Whitesnake to pursue his own songwriting. While the band’s earliest work was rooted in Blues, Soul, and classic British Rock, later Whitesnake albums paired those influences with a heavier guitar-driven sound which became part of their worldwide success.
