DEAR FRIENDS, AFTER RECEIVING FIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM DMCA, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE MY BLOGS, SO ALL THIS SHARING-LINK ACTIVITY IS FINISHED. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETE TEXT I POSTED ON MY PILOT BLOG - - > HERE

FOR THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP ASKING FOR RECORDS: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T FULFIL THEIR REQUESTS, IT ALL CAME TO A POINT THAT'S 'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 97% OF THE ALBUMS I HAD POSTED ON THE SERVERS. The few exceptions are: the bootlegs and the few studio albums authorized directly by the copyright owners.

FOR ALL THE OTHERS, Cyrus (who wants to buy some of my vynil records), Maxoom, Caroalt, Jiro, Trolley Dolly, Phil (who wants my copies of the COB albums), Marnie (who wants my copy of the original "Ptooff"), XJ64, Antiamnbient, Arman, Nicolas, Rick, etc etc , please WRITE ME AGAIN WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, OKAY?

LAST: I RE-UPPED THE FOREST'S LIVE ALBUM FOR THREE PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR IT, SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

WHITESNAKE - Slide it in (Geffen, 1984 - Canadian edition) @320

It's the first time I post an album of power rock, I do it because this is the Canadian edition, with a mixage that differs from the previous UK one (on EMI /Liberty). Since the time I first heard this version, I stopped listeining to my UK copy, this is the one I definitely prefer! At the time that this LP was released, the band had already lost his axemen Mick Moody (ex Tramline, 2 LPs on Island) and Mel Galley, and was right about to engage guitar hero John Sykes (ex Tygers of Pan Tang and Thin Lizzy), so the band re-recorded some guitar parts and overdubbed them on the ones already existing, the result of which was that practically three guitarists took part to this explosive album. On the UK sleeve also Colin Hodgkinson (ex Back Door) is named, but on this edition the only bass player results to be Neil Murray. In a few cases the songs have also different structure, for example "Hungry for love". So, the whole operation can look a little bizarre, but the presence of Sykes and the new equalization (more energy to the high and middle frequences) give a general rendition that - in my opinion - overwhelms the previous mixage. And besides, I always had a crush on Coverdsale's voice... The songs are the same, but in different order, and here they really work fantastic: "Gambler" never sounded to me as a good beginning for an album. The UK version was also used for all the worldwide editions, the only exception was Canada. I'm not sure whether this version was also used for the USA release, but I remember some interviews of those years where Coverdale himself calls this the "Canada edition".
