Come an' Get It is the fourth studio album by English hard rock band Whitesnake, released in 1981. It was, at the time, Whitesnake's highest-charting release in the UK, hitting No. 2 and being kept off the top spot by Adam and the Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier.

"Don't Break My Heart Again" and "Would I Lie to You" were released as singles, the former making the UK Top 20.

EMI remastered the CD in 2007, adding six bonus tracks, mainly rough mixes.

Cover art

Come an' Get It's cover art was created by British artist Malcolm Horton. Malcolm had been contacted by an old friend John Ward who was at the time road manager for Whitesnake. He explained that the band didn’t like any of the ideas for the album cover that EMI, their record label had come up with and so he suggested getting Malcolm involved. The band agreed and so he was asked to go and meet them and come up with some ideas. The final artwork sees the white snake trapped inside a glass apple on the front cover and on the reverse the glass apple is shattered and the snake set free. The power of seduction / temptation clearly too strong. On the cover art of the snake’s mouth agape was depicted was in fact, a vagiana, to which Loudwire reported. However, it did not stir much controversy unlike the infamous cover art belonged on the band’s previous 1979 record, Lovehunter. The 2007 reissue redesigned the cover, with the only minor change on the snake’s mouth to display as the usual snake’s tongue.

Malcolm describes the time in a blog post celebrating the 40th anniversary of its release. Painting Whitesnake’s Come An’ Get It album cover – 40 years on

The original artwork has since gone missing.
