There are hits throughout his whole album. The release was named '1987' in Europe and 'Whitesnake' in the US. Another highly charting pop single in the early spring of 1987, this ballad, co-written with brief Whitesnake member John Sykes, is a bit more toothless than its similar predecessor, as Coverdale may have embraced a winning pop formula a bit too enthusiastically for the band's own good.

Anniversary released but sounds like poor MP3 quality. Have you considered doing this for ‘1987’? DC… ‘Whitesnake’ is the official name… ‘Serpens Albus’ is Whitesnake in latin… There was no plan for so many titles… I always refer to it as the 87 album, if that helps…. I’ve never collected bootlegs until recently… & those I make available on WS.com…, I do have some decent quality cassettes of John & I composing the songs… & the original working titles… then the first rehearsals with Aynsley & Neil playing the songs for the first time… & some other drummers, of course, as we auditioned the entire percussive community of Los Angeles trying to replace Cozy! In my opinion the best whitesnake album of all. coverdale - the "plant" imitator fronted a glam heavy metal hair band perpetuating the over-produced, over-rated cheesy genre that remains a stain on rock and roll for generations to come. Printed inner sleeve has a wrong year - 1978 CBS inc. Hard to believe it’s been thirty years ago today that Whitesnake 1987 was released in the United States. DC… I sounded as if I was speaking while holding my nose… It was not the usual butch, resonant Barry Whitesnake tone that you’ve become familiar with over the years… It was one of the worst, most confusing, emotional times I have experienced… Try to imagine something you love to do… playing the piano, for instance, & then get crippling arthritis that stops you playing… completely… It was awful…, Until then, I’d pretty much taken whatever ‘gifts’ I had for granted… Everything started off great… My voice was in kick arse shape… it went everywhere I threw it… All registers covered… The guide vocals I was singing live to inspire the band were on the money… The songs were tailor made for my pipes… I’ll probably find some basic monitor mixes of those when I get the tapes back from Universal… It was a walk in the park, as they say when we started… then… the shit hit the fan… & did it ever…. Whitesnake started out as a hard rock band that boiled down to Led Zeppelin-meets-Free, basically, yet enjoyed success in England in the late 1970s, due in part to the fact that the band was led by former Deep Purple replacement vocalist/Robert Plant clone David Coverdale. A polished album with killer pop hooks, excellent guitars from John Sykes, and vocals from Whitesnake's founder David Coverdale.
