In 1980, Whitesnake walked into John Lennon's old recording studio at Tittenhurst Park, Ascot — and walked out with what many consider their finest album. This is the full story of *Come An' Get It*, released on April 6th, 1981.
We cover everything: the legendary lineup featuring Jon Lord and Ian Paice fresh from Deep Purple, the razor-sharp production of Martin Birch, the singles that cracked the UK charts, the iconic cover art by Malcolm Horton that caused a quiet scandal on both sides of the Atlantic — and the relentless touring that turned a great record into a genuine classic.
Whether you're a lifelong Whitesnake fan or just discovering the band's early catalogue, this is the album that shows what David Coverdale and company were truly capable of before the arena rock era took over.
🎸 Topics covered in this video:
- Recording at Startling Studios (Tittenhurst Park)
- The full lineup and personnel breakdown
- Track-by-track highlights
- The controversial cover art story
- UK chart performance and certifications
- The 1981 tour and Monsters of Rock appearance
