Remastered & Refreshed Album On 35th Anniversary Edition 180g Double LP!
This 35th Anniversary Double-LP Deluxe Edition features the newly remastered U.K. and U.S. mixes.
"WHITESNAKE scored its first platinum-selling album in 1984 with Slide It In, a release that has sold more than four million copies worldwide thanks to hard-rocking songs like Love Aint No Stranger, Slow An Easy and the title track. The classic album turns 35 in 2019 and Rhino celebrates with this double LP release containing both US and UK mixes.
"After releasing Saints & Sinners in 1982, WHITESNAKE reconvened the following year in Germany to begin recording songs for what would become the bands sixth studio album, Slide It In. At the time, band members included Coverdale, guitarists Micky Moody and Mel Galley, bassist Colin Hodgkinson and keyboardist Jon Lord. The album was initially released in 1984 in the U.K., where it climbed into the Top 10.
"Soon after, the bands lineup changed. Lord left to rejoin DEEP PURPLE and Moody and Hodgkinson were replaced by guitarist John Sykes and Neil Murray, who was WHITESNAKEs original bassist. Prior to its U.S. release in 1985, Slide It In was remixed while newly recorded parts by Sykes, Murray and keyboardist Bill Cuomo were added, resulting in two distinct versions of the album." - heavy-metal.it
"Slide It In was always meant to be a structured, more electric modern take on the classic blues-based hard rock that Whitesnake were famous for, but our new Hook City Hooligan, Mixer Extraordinaire Christopher Collier, has hand-tooled this classic record for the 21st century," says David Coverdale. "Hearing all the performances so fresh and so clear after 35 years was amazing. Mel, Cozy and Jons playing on the record is as vital now as it was all those years ago. All the featured players shine. Not only did Christopher get the best out of the recording, but, he gives the album a fresh coat of sonic paint bringing it right up to date. Im personally thrilled with it."
