  <review>Long Cold Winter is the second studio album by American rock band Cinderella, released in 1988 through Mercury Records. It reached #10 in the US and became double-platinum for shipping 2 million copies in the US by the end of the year, just as their debut album Night Songs had done earlier. It was later certified triple platinum.

The album features four singles, which all charted in the US. "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)", which was to be Cinderella's highest-charting single, reached #12, "The Last Mile", reached #36, "Coming Home" reached #20, and "Gypsy Road" hit #51, a year after the release of the album itself.

With Long Cold Winter, Cinderella started to move away from the glam metal-territory of their previous album and into a more blues-rock direction, akin to early 1970s Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Humble Pie, Bad Company, and Deep Purple.

Cinderella:
    Tom Keifer - electric, acoustic and steel guitars, harmonica, vocals
    Jeff LaBar - guitar (lead guitar on "Falling Apart at the Seams" and "Coming Home")
    Eric Brittingham - bass, backing vocals
    Fred Coury - drums

Additional personnel:
    Jay Levin - steel guitar
    Joseph Starns- drums
    Rick Criniti - piano, organ, synthesizer
    Kurt Shore - keyboards
    John Webster - keyboards
    Cozy Powell - drums
    Denny Carmassi - drums
    Paulinho Da Costa - percussion

Production:
    Produced Andy Johns, Tom Keifer and Eric Brittingham
    Engineered By Thom Cadley, Ryan Dorn and Andy Johns
    Mixed By Steve Thompson, Michael Barbiero and George Cowan</review>
