Van Halen Remastered

Sensational! Highly recommend.

I’m almost tempted to give this 4 stars just because it’s been so overplayed.Then the :30 min (or so) have blown by again and I’m left wanting more.And that’s the point. The same EXACT feeling since day one. It blew everything else away and kept balls to the wall rock ‘n roll alive.Then I think of all the poser hairbands that followed and fell way short. Until maybe Guns ‘n Roses, 10 years later.Yep. 5 stars.

Vinyl plays perfect 0 skips, Van Halen‘s debut album is arguably the best record they’ve ever made, just pure 10/10 rock music, iconic and timeless. The only negative is the sleeve is torn on the bottom, which is just typical with records being shipped. Smh

Wow! This is a fantastic remaster of one of the 1970s great debut albums. I have two original LPs that sound great, but this pressing is awesome! Eddie Van Halen's guitar solos never sounded better. The record itself is very, very quiet, which makes the dynamics and soundstage sound even better! David Lee Roth's vocals are clear and distinct with no sibilance while the drums and bass are easily heard. This record is made to be played loud and man, does it play loud! Crank it up and you'll swear you are at a VH concert! Did I mention that the record is very, very quiet? If you are even thinking about buying this LP, stop thinking! Buy it! You will not regret it. But, you will regret not buying it when it finally sells out and the only place to purchase it is in the secondary market for 5 times the price! Oh, did I mention the vinyl is very, very quiet!!

I know generation to generation musical taste and music in general changes. I get that. But I long for the days of the great rock musicians who had style (Mr. Roth), and iconic musicians (Eddie). What you have on this album is some of the very best for this genre of music. VAN HALEN was one of the best to do it. Eddie's guitar riffs, Alex's drums, Michael doing his thing on the bass, and of course the legend himself, Eddie the glue that holds the entire band together. If you are new to Van Halen, start with this record and take a journey through their entire catalog (don't forget Sammy). They were just a great band with flair and substance. Enjoy the ride.

Hearing Van Halen again hit me.. I was instantly teleported back to my youth and remembered hearing this album for the first time on Cassette! The vocals, the thumping bass, the screaming guitar, the roaring drums OMG it was such a blast hearing that incredible music once more. Good "heavy" 180g vinyl. Arrived in perfect shape. No box dings. Well wrapped, etc. I never collected the original pressing of many album but I sure am having a ball collecting these re-press copies now! In today's world with so many electronics and digital formats and streaming etc etc.. Who knew something as simple as playing a record could be so enjoyable! I'm having a blast collecting and re-discovering Vinyl Records!!! I say go for it!

Vinyl cut by Chris Bellman and pressed by Record Industry in The Netherlands on 180g vinyl. This pressing plays dead quiet like a CD and comes with a heavy gauge inner. The vinyl was flat, had no scuffs, and was super clean. Unlike many new pressings these days it did not need an initial wet clean. The product and packaging are A+ and a deal. Sonically I think it sounds very good. I give it a 9 out of 10. It is very crankable. Given how hard it is dealing with sellers on the secondary market to accurately grade records, save yourself the frustration and pick up this super clean pressing.

As described
