Background
Between 1977 and 1978, vocalist David Coverdale recorded the first of his two solo albums after the Mark IV dissolution of Deep Purple. Both were released as White Snake and Northwinds and were gone out in many complication sets, more recently The Early Years in 2003. Decades later after the temporary disbandment of Coverdale's formed band Whitesnake, he resumed his solo career as well to explore many forms of music. The resulting 2000 record came out as Into the Light, listing it as his most successful solo album commercially and critically, only that it charted in five countries.
According to Coverdale, his first two solo works, including Whitesnake material have been digitally copied and possess the ability to be restored and remastered but unfortunately cannot be remixed at that time. This was a result from the 2008 Universal Studios fire, which archived the band's material belonging to Geffen Records. Purple Records, one of the sub-divisions of EMI at that time, retained the masters to Coverdale's first two solo albums, but had been gone out of print ever since.
