About the Mastering
Mastering was completed by Kevin Reeves at Sterling Sound NYC, using the original album masters from the Mercury Records vault. The masters were played on a modified Studer A820 with Wolke Butterfly heads and converted to digital at 96kHz/24bit resolution using the DCS 904 converter and Sterling's proprietary mastering systems. As always, the most direct signal path was maintained throughout the mastering process. 

Slippery When Wet was the third studio recording by international superstars, Bon Jovi. A commercial triumph, the album made the band one of the biggest rock acts in the world. Collaborating with songwriter Desmond Child, Slippery When Wet was the biggest selling rock album of 1987. Certified diamond by the RIAA, the album has sold over 28 million copies worldwide. Featured in the book, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Slippery When Wet features some of Bon Jovi's most beloved hits including "You Give Love A Bad Name," "Livin' On A Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive."
