If this gets remastered too it better be that will also mean that Slide It In gets left out.

The four music videos and then, again…the same four damn live songs! Also by a later Whitesnake, from a common live DVD. Jesus Murphy! Booklet and liner notes are decent at least, but not enough to justify me owning this any longer. Yep,totally agree with the review here! Whitesnake 87 came out slamming I remember being blown away by it esp Sykes playing. The songs are well crafted and the music is hard rock obviously something Cov and Kalodner were eying for the good ol US of A.

I remember thinking well …. Vandenberg first Vandenberg album is awesome,second Vandenberg so so ,third release-pass Campbell played with Dio on the only 3 Dio albums I ever owned Aldrigde Ozzy Sarzo seems like a cool dude but man why u lickin da bass???

So I thought well he put together a superstar band but man … No Sykes??? Like Like. Not only did the sound stray too much from the blues, but how in the hell do you follow Steve Vai?

Very, very smart! But they sounded great with Sykes. I guess they must have met Sarzo back when the opened for QR eh? I believe there is a deluxe edition of that coming, Deke. Unreleased songs that Coverdale is mixing, hopefully some live stuff.

I know David has stated he wants a deluxe version to come out. One more thing…this reissue does not interest me in anyway…. Turns out, many of them were done by the same guy. I must say that this album is a double edged sword for me. I became a Whitesnake fan pretty late, my first Whitesnake album was Slide It In and after that I bought their back catalogue and I became a huge fan right there and then. So, this album was really a long time coming and I looked forward to it so much.

When it was finally released, it was a big disappoinment for me. Whitesnake for me is groovy bluesy hard rock, jeans t-shirt, sneakers and a leather jacket. Hammond organ. This is a heavy metal sounding album with big choruses and pop metal melodies. And make up, blonde dyed hair, perms, colourful clothes — so wrong for Whitesnake. I honestly cannot hear anything here that I consider Whitesnake.

Maybe Coverdales voice, but he even sings differently here. Because as an album, this is really good, I really like the sound and most of the songs but under the Whitesnake moniker, this both feels and sounds totally wrong and none of the songs could hold a candle to their previous stuff.

That said, except for Slip Of The Tongue, I still think that David Coverdale and his band has only released high quality albums since then. Very good album, just not a good enuff Whitesnake one…. Actually Jon I pretty much agree with you on that. To me, Animalize and Dressed To Kill may as well have been two different bands.

Sykes was unleashed and all of that squealy-goodness that he brought to Thin Lizzy was now in Whitesnake. One of my favourite albums of all time. And a really shite deluxe! Like with the Slide It In one, they really buggered this up. Especially as the track order is different from the UK version too which I prefer. I prefer the UK track-listing. Just out of familiarity more than anything.

Remasters are a tricky thing. Especially with records a lot of people love. Sucks to hear they missed the boat, on this one. The collection I mentioned will be featured in a future review. Was it a conscious decision to move back to this approach following the recording of the album, or simply a spoil of riches? With the new mastering technology for the Collectors Edition, were you able to get a different perspective on the classic songs?

Do you appreciate the aspects of this technology in any particular songs? Was there any discussion about remixing the recordings in addition to remastering them? Why was the running order of the tracks changed on the Collectors Edition? Why was this? The booklet of the Collectors Edition includes some great photographs. Were you involved in the selection process?

You worked with Geoff Barton from Classic Rock magazine for the liner notes. How did this association come about? Many artists are now doing concerts where they perform a classic album in its entirety. What became of the infamous white and green Jaguars from the videos? Can I buy them? Looking back at the whole era, is there any aspect of it that you would have approached differently? DC… No… Everything was absolutely necessary… Everything… even the real bad stuff….

Great job, Purplesnake. You nailed it..
