Engineered, mixed (at the Record Plant) 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 some arm injury); he did appear on the subsequent tour though. Also, Hughes is listed as a guest but he seems quite inaudible. Some say he can be heard on ",Fool For Your Loving". I can't, but I'm quite sure he does some low key uuuing on "The Deeper The Love" as well as following Coverdale on the chorus part. More info appreciated!
