Bon Jovi released Slippery When Wet in August 1986, their third studio album with Vertigo Records. It was such a huge success that it stayed at number one for 8 weeks. It sold over 28 million worldwide and over 12 million in the Uk. It was named the top selling album of 1987. The album is featured in the book 1001 albums you must hear before you die.
The genre is classed as glam metal/hard rock, but this album i would definitely also class this album as classic rock. They are an iconic band, who when you think about rock music, they are up there with the best.
It was recorded at the Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver in 1986. Bon Jovi are made up of Jon Bon Jovi (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Richie Sambora (lead guitar and backing vocals), Alec John Such (bass and backing vocals), David Bryan (Keyboards and backing vocals) and Tico Torres (drums). In 2005. It was re-issued as a Duel-disc. The producer of this album was Bruce Fairbairn, the engineer/mixer was Bob Rock and the assistant engineer was Tim Crich. The digital remastering engineer was George Marino.
I chose this album because i have grown up liking Bon Jovi and have seen them live 3 times. The classic rock sound is brilliant and the recording of this album lives up to their previous albums.
