In reply to some earlier reviews, actually Snakebite DID come out (at least in Europe) in the late seventies/early eighties as a full album, exactly as it is presented here on CD. It contained the original four-song Snakebite EP plus four of the best songs from Coverdale's solo album Northwinds.
Snakebite is different from Whitesnake's other work, because it is mostly a mixture of Southern Rock and Deep Purple-style early Metal, while later Whitesnake is more blues rock/boogie influenced and even later Whitesnake is pop metal/hair metal oriented.
So this is really an unique effort. It is true that Northwinds is also worthwhile buying separately and that half of the tracks featured here you already get on Northwinds. ... Read More:

A really good CD by Whitesnake, and is really great as it was
one of their early works. Almost every song is good and you
wouldn't think that they played this stuff before they became
more well known in the late '80's. Still, this is a gem to have
in anyone's collection where a lot of groups in the late '70's
had started to emerge, and where most of the band members were
from Deep Purple and Trapeze. Give it A+++++.

You gotta give David Coverdale some kind of credit for name-dropping two of his old Deep Purple classics right there in the first song on this album, "Come On".
"I'm just a SOLDIER OF FORTUNE,
Must be the GYPSY in me..."
Maybe David just wanted to remind people who he was, that this was not some "new" band, but in fact featured the talents of Deep Purple's old lead singer. Either way, it's a very solid outing despite the fact that it was patched together from various players and recording sessions.
Songs 1-4 (or "side one" if you remember the days of vinyl) featured his new band which he dubbed Whitesnake, named after a post-Purple solo album that he had done. Purple producer Martin Birch ensured a solid ... Read More:

After his stint in Deep Purple, Coverdale went on to produce this album. The latter half of the album is produced by Roger Glover. Not surprisingly, "Snakebite" has a Purple quality to it, however, it is more bluesy than Purple's traditional sound. Overall, it's a good album; I can't think of a song that I don't like.
Coverdale, at times, seems to imitate Robert Plant (something that becomes more obvious in later albums). This is especially true in "Steal Away," which never ceases to remind me of Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times," lyrically speaking, of course. However, this doesn't detract from the song.
This album appeals to me, not only because the songs are good, but because we see a different Coverdale here, one ... Read More:
