Firstly, David explains why there are two versions of the album:

What happened was we finished the album in Europe and we were all delighted with the way it came out. However, the American record company said it was sounding European and not sounding American. Even when I said, "I am European", they said, "However, we'd like it to sound American", so I gave them carte blanche to remix in the U.S., on the condition that I could include John Sykes, who'd recently joined Whitesnake, and Neil Murray, who recently re-joined Whitesnake, and they got what they wanted. In essence, the difference is that you can hear the voice a lot better, and you have John Sykes and Neil Murray playing on it, whereas on the European mix, you don't have them.

David gets a question if there where any incidents while recording the album:

Well, I don't know about 'interesting incidents'. I think every day in the studio is pretty interesting, but there's one song that's going to be on this collection, called 'Need Your Love So Bad' which I recorded in what was originally John Lennon's house, in England. Now, Ringo owns the house, and on the grounds of this estate was a lovely little chapel which has a very wheezy old organ, and we went in there and I had this idea for an old blues song to rearrange it, and John Lord played this church organ, and I sang in the actual chapel. And I'm delighted that it's going to be included, because it's a very important song to me. The other thing was that when recording in Munich, seeing how beautiful Munich was - I used to live in Munich many years ago - I was motivated and inspired to return to live there, which I've recently done. So, all in all, it has been a rewarding experience altogether.

Here are David's comments on the tracks featured on this special release:

Slide it in is more of a tongue-in-cheek. It's about one of the aspects of the games people play in relationships and it regulary... I think a man and a woman can have terrible arguments and things, and particulary a woman can keep going on and on and on about it, and the only way I think I've ever found to remedy that situation is to get "anatomically conversant", therebly being inspired to write a song called 'Slide it in'. It's actually not about bananas...

Love ain't no stranger is a song about some personal mistakes I made in my life, an attempt for me to analyze, for the reasons behind it.

Guilty of Love Just a very simple and honest love song, which... my daughter asked me, "Daddy, how can you be guilty of love?" and unfortunately I couldn't give her an answer. It's just an own-up song that I tried to be clever with words on, very simply. But it is just basically a very simple love song.

Slow an' easy is a kind of Whitesnake track which we arranged as a kind of modern rhythm & blues vehicle. We structured the arrangement Cozy Powell at his dynamic best. This song has been accepted all over the place. It's like a new Whitesnake anthem. We'd delighted, but the essence of Whitesnake is to try and accomplish modern blues in an '80s context.

Gambler is an exercise in lyrical obliqueness, trying no to be so straightforward in words, not using words like "spit it out", which is pretty straightforward. On 'Gambler', I just tried to be a little more poetic, and I'm delighted with the way that came out.

Need your love so bad It's an old blues song which I rearranged, and it's a very important personal statement to me. We treated it completely different to the original, and made it ours. It's one song that I don't think the Japanese people will have heard, and it's very unusual. It features Jon Lord playing church organ and I'm singing in the chapel, which is not often included in any kind of rock 'n roll LP. However, I think Whitesnake embraces a little more than just hard rock, and this is a very, very close personal statement and I hope people enjoy it.
