High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Snakebite is an Extended Play and the first official release by Whitesnake in June of 1978. This EP unto itself would not be released in the U.S. The EP initially featured four tracks but was then re-released in September of 1978 as a Double Extended Play containing four extra studio tracks from David Coverdale`s second solo LP Northwinds all under the title Snakebite. This Double Extended Play would often be perceived as an LP but this was because there was no explanation of it being otherwise to those who did not know the history of Whitesnake`s catalog worldwide until the age of the internet. The original UK EP sleeve is entitled David Coverdale`s Whitesnake and features photographs of the live band in concert. All tracks from this EP also were used as bonus tracks on the 2006 remaster of Whitesnake`s debut studio album Trouble.
