Van Halen 180 gram Vinyl Reissue
As part of their ongoing vinyl reissue series, Warner/Rhino on Tuesday (March 31) quietly released Van Halen's groundbreaking self-titled 1978 debut record on 180-gram vinyl.
One of the most explosive and accomplished hard rock albums ever produced, Van Halen's 1978 self-titled debut altered perceptions of what the guitar could do and it set the template for the sound of rock and roll for the next decade. From the instrumental blow-out of "Eruption" and the gritty pop of "Feel Your Love Tonight", to the strutting riff of "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" and the grandiose reworking of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me", Van Halen amply demonstrates the drive, showmanship and musicianship that would turn them into rock revolutionaries!
"Van Halen" vinyl reissue details:
* Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Grey at Acoustech Mastering, using half-speed mastering for superior sound
* Pressed on high-quality 180-gram (180g) weight vinyl for longer life and superior sound
* Features all-original artwork and packaging
Most experts agree that the richness and depth of the original master tapes is truly captured only on vinyl. This should sound better than both the original vinyl, and the remastered CD.
