1987 Limited Marble Effect

A great remastered album with live recordings of the songs on the second disc!

The sound quality is really good. And I enjoyed the remixes of some of my favorite old rock songs.

I saw Whitesnake twice back in the day: opening for Motley Crue (yeah, I thought the bill should have been reversed, too) and a double-billing like all the old timers are doing now with Great White. They were phenomenal to watch (Vivian Campbell and Adrian Vandenberg) but no match John Sykes. I'm sorry I didn't get to see him play with 'Snake. He's the guy that made this and all of the best of Whitesnake. Don't get me wrong, Campbell and Vandenberg are great guitarists--they just don't have the feel of Sykes. I love this album and have since I bought my first copy new in the 80s.The sound he can coax from a Gibson Les Paul is like no other and really relays the emotion he brings to music. Highly recommend this (the UK release vs. the US which is missing 2 tracks).

I have all of the Whitesnake CD's but it is because of this one that I discovered them back in 1987. Late bloomer. It's fun to listen from the beginning to the 1987 album to hear the growth and changes in the band. Coverdale's voice has always been amazing but he is in top form on 1987. John Sykes became the guitar God he deserved to be once this album was released. The tone of his guitar is unmistakable and along with the David Coverdale's voice this is easily one of the best albums of all time.

Excelent

I can't explain how excited I was to hear that Whitesnake was finally releasing their long awaited follow-up to `Slide It In' in the early spring of 1987. The first single "Still of the Night" was an absolute monster and it was much heavier then I remember Whitesnake ever being. When the self-titled LP finally came, I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. This was not the Whitesnake sound that I had originally fallen in love with but was in reality a much different band that was primed to take the hair metal world by storm! David Coverdale, after years of European success but American indifference remade the blues rock foundation of the first band and created a heavy metal juggernaut. John Sykes played a seriously blistering metal guitar and much of the blues trappings of the earlier years were much more subtle. So why was `Whitesnake' (or `1987') such a disappointment for me? Because the band that ruled the radio and MTV airwaves was not the REAL Whitesnake of 1978-1984. Also some of the "hits" still make me cringe today (almost threw up in my mouth the first time I heard "Is This Love"). "Crying in the Rain" and "Here I Go Again" were recorded songs originally found on the `Saints n' Sinners' LP and here they definitely improved during the makeover. I may be in the minority but I have never given this record as much love as its mega sales status would expect. A sell out is a sellout but at least it was better than the follow- up, but that's another story. "Still of the Night" is a classic and "Here I Go Again" may be the ultimate power ballad but give me the old Whitesnake any day!

Great collection of the Whitesnake classic album from 1987. Remastered and sounds great.

If you like Whitesnake. You will love this album. Its a reissue, but it sounds great
