This album was released in Europe and Australia as ''1987'' and as ''Serpens Albus'' in Japan with a different track listing (see below). A remastered reissue of this album, featuring a DVD with video clips and live performances, was released in 2007 as the 20th anniversary special edition.
==Background==
During the supporting tour for the band's previous album ''Slide It In'', singer David Coverdale and drummer Cozy Powell's relationship had started to strain. In 1985, after the band's performance at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, the last show of the ''Slide It In'' tour, Powell left the group. Prior to his leaving, Coverdale was actually about to fold the band, but executives at Geffen Records (with whom Whitesnake had recently signed with in the US only, while outside the US they remained with EMI) asked Coverdale to continue working with guitarist John Sykes, as they saw potential in the two.
