Slide It In is the sixth studio album by Whitesnake. Originally released in 1984 in North America by Geffen. Widely regarded as a moderate success, it helped the American market to open up for the band's sound and breakthrough throughout the later 1980s. Historically, it was the final Whitesnake recording to use the band's original "snake" logo.
The album peaked at number 9, marking their fourth Top 10 appearance in the UK. In the US, it peaked at number 40 at Billboard 200. In 1988, the album re-entered the US charts due to the success of the self-titled Whitesnake album (1987), and would be eventually certified double platinum. The album has sold more than six million copies worldwide.
The album spawned four singles in the UK to promote the album: "Guilty of Love", "Give Me More Time", "Standing in the Shadow", and "Love Ain't No Stranger". In the United States, "Love Ain't No Stranger" and "Slow an' Easy" (used for a promo) were considered to be the band's best-known songs, ultimately becoming a hit in rock radio, and also promoted further recognition with music videos receiving substantial MTV airplay.
The album was well-received by critics and accolades in North America. In 2010, Martin Popoff listed it as #241 in The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time.

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.

MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
