Frontiers Records is pleased to announce Whitesnake's explosive new double live album "Made In Britain"/ "The World Record" – officially released in the UK on Monday 8th July. The 2-disc live set coincides with the news ofWhitesnake's UK Arena Tour with Journey and Thunder which kicks off at Glasgow SECC on Saturday 18th May.
During 2011 the mighty Whitesnake embarked on one of their most successful world tours in recent times, performing 96 shows in over 35 countries, starting in North America in May right the way through until the 2nd UK run in December. The request for another live album came from Whitesnake's loyal fans - never ones for being notoriously shy about insisting what they want from their favourite musical reptiles. Before heading out on theForevermore World Tour 2011, the decision was made to record every performance on the tour.
After spending the early part of 2012 feverishly editing and mixing the Whitesnake: Made In Japan live DVD, the production team had the task of listening back to over 90 shows and 130 hours of 100% raw, muscular Whitesnakeperformances. "Made In Britain" and "The World Record" were inspired by the performances from 9 sold out UK concerts and 87 performances from around the world.

WHITESNAKE - BIOGRAPHY
Whitesnake has a respected reputation as one of the world's leading rock'n'roll bands. Founded and formed by Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, the band have earned multi-platinum albums and multiple top 10 hits worldwide, including 2 number 1 smash hit singles with Here I Go Again and Is This Love, and more recently with Still Of The Night.
Bombast, bravado, talent and passion has established Whitesnake as the perennial platinum favourite they have become. They return to the sonic fold with a vengeance in 2013 with the Made in Japan live album and DVD ahead of their May 2013 UK arena tour with Journey and special guests Thunder. "Unfinished business" as Coverdale says slyly. "We all wanted the last tour to continue as we got closer to the end. After a year in the studio we're ready to rock on stage again. We're coming back for more."
Harnessing Coverdale's blues and soul roots and fuelled by incendiary guitarists Doug Aldrich, Reb Beach and bassist Michael Devin, you have all the elements that comprise Whitesnake's rock credentials. On the upcoming UK tour Whitesnake will be joined by the Tommy Aldridge on drums and percussion.
