Love Hunter is the second studio album by the British band Whitesnake, released in 1979. The album charted at #29 on the UK Albums Chart.
"Long Way from Home", the leading track on the album, was the band's first single but only reached #55 on the UK charts.

Cover art

Love Hunter's cover art featuring a naked woman straddling a large snake was created by fantasy artist Chris Achilleos. Reportedly the controversial cover proved troublesome for Achilleos who subsequently refused to do album covers for many years. Achilleos' original Love Hunter artwork was stolen in the 1980s and has yet to be recovered.
A similar idea had been used three years earlier for the cover of Jon Lord's Sarabande album. Lord was in Whitesnake at the time of Lovehunter.

The European edition of the album contains the original mix. This mix features a stronger presence of keyboards by Jon Lord, and the bass is more noticeable. The track order is also different from the US mix.
The US mix lowers the keyboards and bass in the mix, and is more orientated around the guitars and drums. The US version features some different guitar solos to the European edition, with the addition of John Sykes as a third guitarist layered on top of the original guitar parts recorded by Mel Galley and Micky Moody. The bass guitar parts which were originally recorded by Colin Hodgkinson were replaced by returning member Neil Murray's bass guitar parts. The US version also included some new keyboard parts by Bill Cuomo.
There are also other, more subtle differences in the mix. For instance, on the track "Gambler" on the UK version, Coverdale's voice echoes after every line he sings - this does not happen in the US mix. On the track "Slow An' Easy", the US version has more echo.
