VAN HALEN - VAN HALEN (180g LP)


Van Halen Van Halen on 180g LP from Warner Bros.

Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes by Kevin Gray at Acoustech and Pressed at RTI

Groundbreaking 1978 Debut Has Outstanding Sound: By Far the DEFINITIVE Pressing 

Van Halen is what it means to rock. And enjoy oneself while doing it. Even
if you're too young to remember or simply forgot about such decadence,
Warner Bros.' analog reissue more than serves as an excellent time machine.
Remastered from the original analog tapes at Acoustech by Kevin Gray and
pressed at RTI, the LP is the finest-sounding Van Halen document available.
Having inspired air-guitar heroics the world over, the band's groundbreaking
self-titled debut truly has never been better.

Has an album ever rocked so hard, flaunted each band members' distinct
personalities, displayed virtuosic musicianship, and had so much fun while
doing it?
Doubtful. Upon its original release in 1978, no one had ever heard Eddie Van Halen's speed, dexterity, and revolutionary guitar techniques. Or Roth's flamboyant humor and gonzo character. Throw in a gut-punching rhythm section and eleven killer songs--the loose cover of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," classically inspired solo explosion "Eruption," primal "I'm the One," and anthemic "Runnin' With the Devil" among them--and Van Halen remains an insanely great album.

Even better, this audiophile-minded pressing not only brings the dynamics
and punch of the music into crystal-clear focus
, it also brings into view
the group's famous characteristics: Roth's butt-less chaps and omnipresent
chest hair; Alex Van Halen's silly white headband; Michael Anthony's coiffed
hair; Eddie Van Halen's leopard-print pants and guitar-hero poses. No, the
Camaro and six-pack aren't included, but play this version of Van Halen at
full volume on a knock-out stereo, and hedonistic late-70s good times will return
in spades!
