Product Details

Before this record even hit shelves, a cassette demo was already circulating Hollywood clubs and landing on Ted Templeman's desk at Warner Bros., which is how fast the buzz moved around this band. Eddie Van Halen's playing rewrote what was considered possible on electric guitar practically overnight, but the album works because David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen locked in around him as a genuine unit, not a backing band.


Considered one of the greatest debut albums in rock history, Van Halen took the music world by storm in 1978 with an 11-song manifesto that features some of rock radio s most played songs of all time and scorching concert staples like "Runnin With The Devil," "Ain t Talkin Bout Love," "Jamie s Cryin ," the band s signature cover of The Kinks "You Really Got Me, " and Eddie Van Halen s finger-tapping tour de force, "Eruption."

Mastering engineer Chris Bellman, who remastered the original albums at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios, was enlisted for this new version. In order to produce the original sound the band intended, Bellman cut straight from the quarter-inch tapes for CD; for 180-gram vinyl; and for the digital versions.
