WHITESNAKE – Slide It In [Japan SHM-CD remastered MiniLP] Out Of Print
As requested, here’s the only version on mini-LP replica SHM-CD of WHITESNAKE‘s “Slide It In“, in its original 2000’s remaster (for many, the best done for this album), unfortunately now out of print. Yeah, there’s the more recent ‘Ultimate 6-CD Edition’, including a new 2019 mix, the US mix, the UK mix, and more, but this SHM-CD sonics are… different. It’s a matter of taste, we prefer this one.
“Slide It In” was Whitesnake’s breakthrough album in America, and one of the best in the ‘white serpens’ career.
Following up the splendid previous ‘Saints & Sinners’ album was not an easy task, but 1984’s “Slide It In” turned out to be an even greater triumph for David Coverdale’s Whitesnake. From the boisterous machismo of “Spit It Out” and “All or Nothing” to the resigned despair of “Gambler” and “Standing in the Shadow,” and the slippery title track, everything seems to click.
For hit singles, look no further than the twin guitar attack of “Guilty of Love” and the sheer poetry and emotion of “Love Ain’t No Stranger,” one of the decade’s greatest power ballads, bar none.
Not to be outdone, “Slow an’ Easy” is a masterpiece of sexual tension and the kind of power-blues which no one does as well as Whitesnake…
