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. 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. Roth wasn't blessed with great technique, unlike Eddie, but he had a flair for showmanship derived as much from lounge performers as Robert Plant. Together, they made Van Halen into the most popular American rock & roll band of the late '70s and early '80s, and in the process set the template for hard rock and heavy metal for the '80s.

Cut By Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering
I bought the vinyl of this. It was the Van Halen's 10x Platinum Debut ReMastered From The Original Analog Tapes180g Vinyl acquers Cut By Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering (comes with a sticker saying this in I think French) so for the price I was very pleased. The only better one would be the Kevin Gray one but I doubt anyone buying on Amazon would be able to hear the difference (me included). It is a lovely record.

A very nice sounding remastered album from Van Halen's debut album originally released in 1978. Wanted a better listening copy than my original. This sounds dynamic and excellent.

Songs are good, but the record is chipped and scratchy. There is no replacement on the record. Wastage of money.

Slightly warped, which seems to be the norm these days with newly pressed records... the sound wasnt effected .. this is the 2019 pressing, you can tell by the new Warner logo... The debut for VH is an abolute classic.. I have '1984', also purchased here and an old copy of '51/50' and I'm not sure what took me so long to pick this disc up? Recommended!!
