Slide It In
Slide It In is the sixth studio album by English rock band Whitesnake, released on 30 January 1984 in Europe, and on 6 February in the UK by Liberty and EMI Records. To cater to the American market, the album was remixed and resequenced, and subsequently released on 16 April 1984 in North America through Geffen Records, after the group was signed to the label prior to its release.
The album debuted at number nine on the UK charts and number twenty-four on the Japanese Oricon albums chart. The American remix of the album debuted at number 193 at US Billboard 200 on 16 May 1984, but eventually peaked at number forty on 25 August 1984. The album ran for a consecutive 42 weeks between 1984 and 1985. By the end of the Slide It In tour, it had managed to sell 300,000 copies in the United States. Geffen acknowledged that they have not pushed the album far enough as they hoped, and wished if they have done so, the chances for the band's commercial breakthrough would've been too great for that year.
