Bowed guitar solo

[edit]
  • There is no bowed guitar solo on Still of the Night, he uses one on the video to simulate the synthisised strings and have a bit of a slight at Page. Also the Led Zeppelin songs with bowed guitar parts do not include Kashmir.

US Release date

[edit]

The RIAA database claimed that the release date was on 23 March 1987. I've heard in Billboard claimed March 21, but Coverdale officially claimed the release date on 7 April 1987. At this point, there is no 100% verifiable source of when the album was released, neither when it was on sale before the release. Some billboard issue magazines have the album's pre-sale ad, like this one from a Billboard 7 March 1987 issue: https://x.com/METALSHOPROCKS/status/1644326913270513664/photo/1 saying that the price is good till 5 April. It's weird how the album did not debut on the Billboard chart on its debut until 18 April 1987 (its official debut on that chart). Either "23 March" or "7 April". All I know is that it is not 30 March, since that is the UK release date. Usually, I would have to go with the RIAA date, but since there are pre-sale copies before it is approximately a month before it can debut on Billboard, it is unclear when it has a proper US release date or a more verifiable source of a release date.

F.Y.I. Normally, it takes 7-10 days of sales to register on Billboard after release.

Cheers!

Fair enough, the date of March 23 seems too early, and I've spotted several RIAA dates that were pretty off, so it's never a 100% reliable source, one needs to look at context.
But since the band wasn't that big in the US before this album, it might've been out for two weeks before radio picked it up and the larger public knew about it. It was a slowburner anyway, as it only really took off when "Here I Go Again" became a big (MTV-) hit, and that single/video was released just before summer. So I would say it is possible RIAA got it right, but a better source is still needed. Ray1983a (talk) 08:19, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, an article or a publication or a newspaper archive or an advert that could announce the release date would be with some specific release date would be possible, but no luck recently unfortunately. I have gotten contact with Whitesnake archivist, named Jorg Planner who archives much of the Whitesnake/Deep Purple/David Coverdale material, but Jorg told me that the RIAA date is the closest date he has... there was no material that states any release date in the US. His twitter/X handle is @JoergPlaner if you want to check him out. Much newspaper and editions exist and details follow, including most of David Coverdale's "Into the Light" album...
