Slide It In by Whitesnake
Slide It In is an album by Whitesnake, released in 1984. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Love Ain't No Stranger”, on 7 lists with a best position of #126.
Slide It In, Whitesnake's sixth studio album, came out in Europe and the UK early in 1984, then got a second life on 16 April when Geffen issued a remixed, resequenced version for North America. David Coverdale, the ex-Deep Purple singer the band was built around, had set his sights on America, and that remix, brighter and glossier than a Martin Birch original some found flat, gave him the sound to go and get it.
It's blues-bred hard rock with a glam-metal gleam, and the lyrics are the usual Whitesnake parade of leering double entendres; the title alone tells you. "Love Ain't No Stranger" and "Slow an' Easy" got heavy MTV play. Meanwhile the band came apart around it: Micky Moody left after the sessions and John Sykes came in, Neil Murray returned on bass, Mel Galley and Jon Lord departed, and Cozy Powell was gone early in 1985.
