CD1: Whitesnake (1977)
White Snake is the first solo album by David Coverdale, released in May 1977. Coverdale would use the album title as the name of his future band, first known as "David Coverdale's Whitesnake" and soon afterwards shortened to Whitesnake. The album was released as a part of a compilation album Whitesnake/Northwinds in 1988.
As his first solo effort, Coverdale later admitted: "It's very difficult to think back and talk sensible about the first album. White Snake had been a very inward looking, reflective and low-key affair in many ways, written and recorded as it was in the aftermath of the collapse of Deep Purple".

CD2: Northwinds (1978)
Northwinds is the second solo album by former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, released in March 1978. Originally entitled North Winds, the hard rock album leans more towards blues-based and R&B influenced rock. Coverdale also touched on the genre in his preceding album, White Snake.
The album received mixed to positive reviews. Bret Adams of AllMusic gave it 3/5 stars, considering it "a huge leap forward in quality from the previous year's White Snake", highlighting "splendid "Time & Again" ... "Only My Soul" offers a rich musical stew" with Coverdale's "ethereal singing" holding "it all together". Richie Unterberger gave 3/5 stars to the 1988 double compilation, concluding "they're mediocre listening, the product of a man uncertain about where to take his music as a solo act, without the rock-hard hard rock support of one of his steady bands".
