First of all I agree with all of Supershaggy eight in depth reviews and have given him a vote on each one. This is the first vinyl that I brought when I was nine years old and what a cracker. For all you big Whitesnake fans there is a new 20th Anniversary special edition of this album with extra tracks, a small book and dvd that come out last year. 21 years later and this is still one of My favourite rock albums of all time. All the songs are very good but the five stand-out tracks for me are as follows: Still Of The Night, Is This Love, Here I Go Again, Looking For Love and Crying In The Rain. The two songs Here I Go Again and Crying In The Rain are newer better versions, which are taken from the album Saints And Sinners. The Whitesnake 1987 album sold over ten million worldwide and has aged very well indeed. Any rock lover should at least get this one cd by Whitesnake it is a classic and a real bargain at £4:99.

PS: more classic/great rock ablum reviews on the way soon hope… more »

Well this is one extremely commercial rock album but if you can listen to this album with fresh ears and forget about the early blues orientated whitesnake sound then you will find a really classic album here, first off by very commercial I meant that this is packed full of radio hits, in fact back when this was released, extremely heavy exposure from mtv (when it was a proper music channel) caused this album to start flying off the shelves and in all fairness that was a good thing because all the material on it is both catchy, classy and extremely slick, the hits on this album included the famous unforgettable power ballad is this love, which in all honesty has been put on just about every power ballads compilation that i've ever seen, something that only happens as you well know when a completely brilliant and timeless song that will never get old is made, then of course there is the re-recording of their hit single here I go again which became infinitely bigger the second time… more »

The slickness of this record is instantly noticeable and it doesn't take much for the average rock fan to realise that this album has been purposely made to sound this exciting and fresh, but it works totally and ends up providing an album with basically no filler whatsoever, the only complaint that can really be made about some of the less well known songs is that they didnt become quite as enormous as the singles, but that just makes the album much better to have in the first place, this album is basically the perfect album to drive to, the whole album is catchy and its very hard not to sing along such is david coverdales amazing vocal talent, which explains the success of this album in a nutshell, it is simple but engaging music that the average man on the street can enjoy time and time again
It puzzles me as to why coverdale felt the need to basically sack his whole band after this album, because he found a formula that worked extremely effectively on this album and the other band member that he fired were as important to this records sound as coverdale was, john sykes, neil murray and aynsley dunbar were all top musicians, but I guess he had his reasons

Basically this album is the album that you all really want without realising it if that is your into slick radio friendly rock bands such as boston or rainbow, the chances are you are also into this album and are already familiar with half of this album, but there is so much more to this album than the best rock album ever mainstays, is this love and here i go again and for that reason you should all check it out because you are unlikely to be to disappointed, this is so underrated that it is unreal, most will agree that this is the best whitesnake album from their rockier period but unless the name whitesnake actually comes up few people will bother to name 1987 and thats a shame because its a true classic
