Slide It In is the sixth studio album by English rock band Whitesnake. Originally released on 30 January 1984 in Europe, by Liberty/EMI, it was remixed for the American market, later issued on 16 April 1984 in North America by Geffen. In Japan, it was issued a “European” Mix release date on 23 March 1984, and an “American” remix on 21 December 1984 by CBS/Sony. Widely regarded as a moderate success, it helped open the American market to the band’s sound and breakthrough throughout the later 1980s. Historically, it was the final Whitesnake recording to use the band’s original “snake” logo. The album peaked at number 9, marking their fourth Top 10 appearance in the UK & In the US, it peaked at number 40 at Billboard 200, eventually going double platinum.

Give Me More Time was the second single released on 3 January 1984 in Europe and 9 January in Germany. The song was written by David Coverdale and Mel Galley. Musically it reminds me of more of AC/C. The song reached number 29 in the UK and number 27 in Ireland. Standing in the Shadow is a song by the English hard rock band Whitesnake as the 3d single from Slide It In. While it does not have a music video, it was released as a single by Liberty Records with the B-Side American version of “All or Nothing.” The single only charted No. 62 in the UK Singles chart and stayed for three weeks. Slow an’ Easy easily the best song on the record, which was released as a promo single, became a hit on rock radio and reached #17 on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Love Ain’t No Stranger which is a power ballad is onne of the group’s best known songs, it’s been included in multiple multi-artist compilation albums as well as in various media from Whitesnake’s own labels. Due to its popularity among fans, Whitesnake has performed the song over eight hundred times as of December 2022, making it one of the group’s top five most played pieces. The song charted at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart and 34 on the U.S. Mainstream rock charts. But my favourite song off the record, and which introduced me to the band, is Slow n Easy which was released as a promo single, became a hit on rock radio. Slow an’ Easy has a cool lead guitar licks and reached #17 in Billboard’s Rock Charts.

The intro to Spit It Out reminds me of All Right Now by Free. The more upbeat and fun loving Hungry For Love which is reminiscent of a lot of 70s rock n roll bands is a good song. Guilty of Love was release as a single in 1983, well before the actual album was released Written by vocalist David Coverdale, he described the track as a “very simple and honest love song”. It has frequently been compared to Thin Lizzy for its dual lead guitars. It reached number 31 on the UK Singles Chart and a music video was also shot at the Monsters of Rock show on 20 August 1983. On the Japanese release also had a cover of Need Your Love So Bad a song first recorded by Little Willie John in 1955.
