Come an' Get It is the fourth studio album by English hard rock band Whitesnake, released in 1981. It was, at the time, Whitesnake's highest-charting release in the UK, hitting No. 2[1] and being kept off the top spot by Adam and the Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier.[2]

"Don't Break My Heart Again" and "Would I Lie to You" were released as singles, the former making the UK Top 20.[1]

EMI remastered the CD in 2007, adding six bonus tracks, mainly rough mixes.

Cover art

Come an' Get It's cover art was designed and created by British artist Malcolm Horton.[3] Horton had been contacted by an old friend John Ward who was at the time road manager for Whitesnake. He explained that the band didn’t like any of the ideas for the album cover that EMI, their record label, had come up with and so he suggested getting Malcolm involved. The band agreed and so he was asked to go and meet them and come up with some ideas. The final artwork sees the white snake trapped inside a glass apple on the front cover and on the reverse the glass apple is shattered and the snake set free as it resembles as "the power of seduction/temptation clearly too strong." The snake’s mouth actually depicted a vagina.[4] However, it did not stir as much controversy as the infamous cover of the band’s second album, Lovehunter (1979).[5] Horton addressed the album's "explicit" cover behind it saying:[6] Шаблон:Blockquote

The 2007 EMI reissue redesigned the mouth to more closely resemble a regular snake's tongue.

Commercial performance

By within its debut, Come an' Get It debuted at No. 2 in the UK chart, the highest debut in the band's discography ever in their native country, but was prevented from the top spot over Adam and the Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier. It eventually stayed 23 weeks up in the charts. The album charted on 7 countries, with Finland charting on No. 3, Germany on No. 20, Japan on No. 41, Norway on No. 26, and Sweden on No. 24. In the US, it only debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at No. 151 and kept showing for 6 weeks, unlike the moderate successes of their previous album 'Ready an' Willing' that formerly stayed for a total of 16 weeks at that time in 1980.

The album was certified by BPI within silver status on 27 April 1981, eventually reaching gold (100,000 copies) on 16 September 1981. The album also received a gold award by RIAJ in 1981, making the band's very first certification outside their native country.

Touring

The band first embarked on a promotional supporting tour on 14 April 1981.[7] The act headlined Billy Squier's 1981 "Don't Say No" album at that time. They were then joined by headlining British heavy metal band Judas Priest, "World Wide Blitz Tour" alongside other acts with Iron Maiden and Foghat in July through August, respectively.[7][8] The tour also included their very first appearance in Monsters of Rock performance at Castle Donington on 22 August 1981 headlined by AC/DC. The tour would come to an end on 12 December 1981 at Stadthalle Freiburg located at Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, lasting for an approximate five months.[9]
