"Slide It In" is the seventh studio album by British hard rock band Whitesnake, released in 1984. It was the first Whitesnake album to be released in the United States, but was remixed for the release there. Because of this, two different editions of the album exist, each with its own unique qualities.

Album versions

The European and Canadian edition of the album contains the original mix. This mix features a stronger presence of keyboards by Jon Lord, and the bass is more noticeable.

The U.S. mix lowers the keyboards and bass in the mix, and is more orientated around the guitars and drums. The U.S. version features some different guitar solos to the European/Canadian edition, with the addition of John Sykes as a third guitarist layered on top of the original guitar parts recorded by Mel Galley and Micky Moody.

There are also other, more subtle differences in the mix. For instance, on the track Gambler on the UK version, Coverdale's voice echoes after every line he sings - this does not happen in the US mix.

In general, the fan consensus is that the U.S. edition sounds more slickly produced and radio-friendly for the American marketplace, whereas the original shows the band's classic rock roots. Fact|date=June 2007 Vocalist and band-leader David Coverdale would take the polished production of "Slide It In" to an even higher level on Whitesnake's follow-up album.
