MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED ON MOFI SUPERVINYL. 1/4" / 30 IPS analog master to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe. Limited Edition of 12,000. Van Halen did more than announce to the world the earthshaking arrival of a revolutionary guitarist. Performed by an enterprising California quartet that took its name from two of its principal members, the 1978 debut ripped headlines away from punk, injected fresh energy into a then-moribund rock 'n' roll scene, reimagined how heavy music and throwback pop could coexist, and invited everyone to experience the top-down pleasures of a beachfront Saturday night every day of the week no matter where they lived. Painstakingly restored by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, and the first of a multi-album series in an exciting partnership between the famous reissue label and Van Halen, Van Halen delivers feel-good thrills and hormonally charged desires like never before.

By the early 1980s, Van Halen were at the top of their game. Featuring the classic line-up of David Lee Roth on vocals, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, brother Alex on drums, and bassist Michael Anthony, the band had cemented their reputation with a string of hit records and tours, and by 1982 they were among the best live acts on the circuit. Diver Down, Halen’s 1982 album, was their biggest success yet, spending 65 weeks on the US albums chart and selling over four million copies. It also spawned five charting singles, including ‘(Oh) Pretty Woman’, ‘Dancing In The Street’ and ‘Where Have All The Good Times Gone!’, which hit No. 1, 3 and 17 on the US Mainstream Rock chart respectively.

Van Halen Com performances cheias de energia e solos de guitarra épicos, a banda norte-americana Van Halen é considerada uma das responsáveis pela popularização do hard rock. Formado em 1973, o grupo lançou o primeiro álbum, autointitulado, em 1978. Com mais de 10 milhões de cópias vendidas, o disco chegou ao 19º lugar da parada Billboard 200. Os discos seguintes, Van Halen II (1979), Women and Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1981), e Diver Down (1982), também foram grandes sucessos. Mas o maior sucesso do Van Halen, o álbum 1984 (lançado no mesmo ano), teve o único single número um do grupo, “Jump”.

With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what the electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals.

Van Halen has sold more than 80 million worldwide and is tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American band. This is a collection that spans multiple decades and features both David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar on vocals. Eddie Van Halen is regarded as one of the greatest guitar players in rock history and was well known for popularizing the tapping guitar solo technique. Eddie died of cancer in 2020, this is the end of the band, as his son Wolfgang stated: “You can’t have Van Halen without Eddie Van Halen.”

It was wildly inventive and over the top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards.
