Lavishly repackaged
Another massive (re-)release from Whitesnake — an 8-CD box set of live material, all of which has been previously released separately. Titled Access All Areas: Live, it is lavishly packaged in an imitation travel case, and is slated for release on April 25th, 2025, on Rhino. The material included was previously released in the following sets, all from this century:
- Live… In The Still Of The Night (Disc 1)
- Live… In The Shadow Of The Blues (Discs 2+3)
- Made In Japan (Discs 4+5)
- Made In Britain/The World Record (Discs 6+7)
- The Purple Tour (Disc 8)
The Music Universe has complete track listings, in case you wanna peruse further details.
Thanks to Blabbermouth for the info and to Uwe for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Nick, can you please leave my name out of Coverdale-related news as long as SHE 👀 is watching? SHE said “curse you all, you’ll never learn …”. 😬
The release is completely remastered. And of course the more recent concerts have the keys dropped a half-step or two so you can treat yourself with Here I Go Again in several keys – as your mood strikes you!
Can we now please return to wholesome GRN (Gillan-related news)?

Ahem, with SHE I guess you mean me!?
Yeah, Whitesnake or whatever they call them selves (not to confuse with the cute Danish band Big Fat Snake) are yesterdays news 😂
So yes, please let us get some more relevant Gillan news 🥰😘

March 9th, 2025 at 12:24Maybe we ought to make Uwe a go-fund-me, on the other hand, I will only do that for decent music, all Ian’s projects! Even IGB!
John, after 50 years of painstakingly collecting the music of these guys, why stop now? 🤗
The WS stuff – I’ll give it that – is at least lovingly curated, varnished and repackaged. Compared to what DC does, even the new GILLAN set is strictly amateur hour (you show me a WS release where they forget to name the producer like they did with Double Trouble or where you have to dig around to find out who remastered the whole set). You can tell that DC has been a record/CD collector himself all his life. He has a sense for it. He is INVOLVED with the product. Gillan isn’t, he probably could care less and I severely doubt if he ever saw the new GILLAN set before it came out.
