For me Whitesnake in '87 are armed with a 'USA remix' of 'Here I Go Again', but have all the strut and hair to make this record sell - and boy did it, over ten million worldwide!! Kicks straight in with the Zep strut of 'Still Of The Night', Coverdale bang on form making this one of my fave Whitesnake records to date. Sykes sultry, yet impressive guitar work giving the record a rich, almost late night radio feel, heightened by big power ballad 'Is This Love' with Coverdale struttin' all over it in leather pants. A smattering of keyboards is normally off putting but here it succeeds, among the pulsating rhythms there's a serious oomph, beefy vocal delivery and some rattling rockers too - 'Bad Boys', and 'Crying In The Rain'. The album cover attracts in the same way as Kingdom Come's debut - distinctly '80s, not that you're interested, but even so, bolstered by the inclusion of the revamped 'Here I Go Again', this album is better than I expected.
