Product Description

Amazon.ca

Originally dismissed as a Led Zeppelin knockoff, Whitesnake, fronted by ex-Deep Purple singer David Coverdale, clattered around their hometown of Yorkshire, England for about six years before being discovered in the U.S. Their U.S. debut (fourth album) Slide It In (1984) captured the libidinous, restless spirit of frustrated youth, and climbed to No. 40 on the Billboard album chart. Eventually, it went double platinum on the back of the stealthy, pulsing "Slow An' Easy" and the propulsive title track. Shortly before recording the album, Coverdale recruited former Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes, who provided the band with the flair and technical wizardry it needed to become a contender in the big-hair, pop metal sweepstakes. --Jon Wiederhorn

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing tracks, what the heck? Oct 28 2009
By LeBrain HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
I was very dissapointed with this release of Slide It In. The 2 stars is for this release only, the album itself has been and always will be a 5 star album.

This release baffles me. 3 tracks are missing from the UK mix of Slide It In! (Love Ain't No Stranger, Hungry For Love, and the UK mix of Need Your Love So Bad.) This is very frustrating as a collector. Now I still somehow need to acquire the UK version of Slide It In, even though I have this. And then to top it off, a live acoustic version of Love Ain't No Stranger from 1997 was included. This version has absolutely nothing to do with Slide It In, and is already available on the live album Starkers In Tokyo.

The DVD is fine, all the music videos and a few live tracks from the era are included. However, once again...a live version of Love Ain't No Stranger, this one from one of the Snake tours in the 2000's, and also the Starkers version. Why? I don't know.

Why not just release a 2 CD set with both versions of the album? I don't know.

The remastering is good, the liner notes are great, even though they gloss over the missing tracks. Photos are great as well. Shame about the tracklist.

Two stars. Now I'm off to find the correct UK version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily The Very Best Whitesnake Album April 28 2004
By Michael K. Middleton
Format:Audio CD
This is absolutely one of the best hard-rock albums of all time. Whitesnake might have been a little reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, but they definitely had their own thing going. David Coverdale is an amazing vocalist, right up there with Chris Cornell and....well, Robert Plant LOL:) A lot of heavy music from the 80's has been (and rightfully should be) dismissed as hairspray and fluff, including 'Snake's later albums, in my opinion. But this is just a great rock album, period. Not one song on it stinks. Great vocals, musicianship and heart. If you only buy one Whitesnake CD, make it this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of their masterpieces!! Mar 25 2008
By Customer from Quebec TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
I cannot say which Whitesnake album is their best, but this one's a favorite for the spot. David Coverdale is an amazing vocalist (for almost 35 years now) and still few singers compare to him. He has an amazing depth of his voice ranging from soft to very heavy. And his band created one of the best metal albums of the 80's. And those who judge Whitesnake based on their brief glam look (between 84 and 87) are plain stupid. It's the music that counts. And it's wonderful. Slow An'Easy, Love is no Stranger... useless to point out the best songs, the whole album is brlliant!
