Shame because Coverdale's voice on Trouble is excellent, more emotion and more organic.
1987, much like Good To Be Bad just doesn't feel like Whitesnake. It is for all intents and purposes a different band. Thats not to say that 1987 doesn't have any good songs, simply that it is A) outclassed by the earlier albums as evidenced with B) two of the strongest songs on the album are rerecordings of old tracks.
Even so I think Trouble was a low point in Coverdale's early post DP career. I loved "Northwinds" and "Snakebite" but "Trouble" just lacked a little magic despite DC being in fine form.
I loved the "Lovehunter"/ "Ready & Willing"/"Come An Get It" trilogy... loathed "Saints & Sinners" apart from the infinitely superior original "Here I Go Again' & "Crying In The Rain"... thought the non Sykes "Slide It In" was solid but the Zep influences were getting to strong... The "Whitesnake" album had a moment or two, especially "Looking For Love"... and "Slip Of The Tongue" was a fucking dead dog from start to finish. "Restless Heart" was even worse.
Isn't there a Whitesnake thread somewhere? Yeah, this turned into one...

What comes to the notorious & evil fun of the album number #666 I was talking about...I could have planned this thoroughly to get a certain album to have the running number #666 in my collections, but instead I just made regular purchases and let the destiny form on its own...
With these latest cash purchases, quick orders and 2 back orders it can get a bit confusing as to what album gets the number, added that some albums arrive in a bundle...So I'm not deciding the number by purchase, I'm deciding it by which order the albums emerge from the packaging to further join my collection...As I opened today's packaging and took the albums out, it was Gary Moore's Wild Frontier that became the number #666 in my collections...Ironically, the first song on my first ever C-cassette collection back in late 1989 was the first song from this very album, Over The Hills And Far Away...Last edited by Sabbathman; 01-20-2010, 04:42 AM."He is the King of all kings, the keeper of light...He holds eternity's wings"

It was on sale and although I couldn't stand "Is This Love", the rerecorded songs got me curious. as did John Sykes on guitar. The album is is best summed up to me as a Coverdale/Sykes album as opposed to Whitesnake. The direction of the album is certainly very 80's - though not in (what I would consider) a good way.

Sabbathman - you were right about the quality of the remastering, it sounds excellent and is how remastering should be done (Megadeth & Judas Priest take note!). Doesn't hurt that the songwriting and performances are great either."Music is so sacred to me that I can’t hear wishy-washy nonsense just played for the sake of selling records."

or me "Whitesnake" (to give 1987 it's proper name) marked the second step down a long slippery staircase for Coverdale & Whitesnake... "Slide It In" being the first with the appalling "Slow And Easy" & "Spit It Out".
Even so I think Trouble was a low point in Coverdale's early post DP career. I loved "Northwinds" and "Snakebite" but "Trouble" just lacked a little magic despite DC being in fine form.
I loved the "Lovehunter"/ "Ready & Willing"/"Come An Get It" trilogy... loathed "Saints & Sinners" apart from the infinitely superior original "Here I Go Again' & "Crying In The Rain"... thought the non Sykes "Slide It In" was solid but the Zep influences were getting to strong... The "Whitesnake" album had a moment or two, especially "Looking For Love"... and "Slip Of The Tongue" was a fucking dead dog from start to finish. "Restless Heart" was even worse.) - more so with the bonus tracks from the "Snakebite EP". I also rate "Lovehunter/Ready & Willing" highly along with the "Live In The Heart Of The City".
