Additional trackinfo
Coverdale states that Richard Page from Mr. Mister is guest singing backup vocals on the track Now you're gone. Can't see his name in the credits tough, but you gotta take Davids words for it. ;)

Also, Hughes is listed as a guest but someone seems to have forgotten giving the guy a mike, 'cos he really seems quite inaudible! Not comfirmed, but Glenn might be the one shouting "Cheap an' nasty", while Coverdale starts "I never thought it would be this way.. I never thought I'd ever complain..". You might also hear him doing the harmonies on the verses in "Judgement Day". Listen and find out...

Notes/Comments
Engineered, mixed and produced by Mike Clink & Keith Olsen.

Adrian Vandenberg is listed as a member of the band but he doesn't actually play on the album (due to an arm injury).

A special edition of this album was released for promotional use only that featured Davids comments on each song. If you are interrested, why not read Tom Botts short synopses of the interview clips, of 'cos featured here.

In an old interview from 'Raw' magazine, in the UK, Adrian Vandenberg names these tracks as being left-overs on this album: Kill for the Cut, Parking Ticket and finally Sweet Lady Luck which appears on the Greatest Hits album from 1994 (also previously available on the cassette version of the album, and as a B-side to one of the singles release from the album).

Reviews
As expected, it's a consummate, state-of-the-art, mass-appeal commercial rock record. While it's obviously aimed at CHR as much as AOR, there are several tracks here for the rockers who've been with the band from the start: 'Fool for your loving' (the single, a re-recorded version of their 1980 British hit) is the obvious track, but we'd also go with 'Cheap An' Nasty', a bluesy grind that would've fit perfectly on "Slide it in", and especially 'Judgement Day', which has an absolutely killer riff and a really funny 'Kashmir' (Led Zeppelin) rip on the bridge. While we would've liked something a little bit more adventurous, this record will probably be multi-platinum within weeks, and the band just smokes-especially Mr. Coverdale himself, who possibly turns in the performance of his career..."
