Van Halen

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.

Great sound and quality of the pressing. One of the greatest rock albums of all time in my opinion.

Great deal from a great brand new product, packaged well and in excellent condition in the original box. Brand new and looked great ,as described and shipping cost was reasonably low & immediately shipped. You won't find a better value for your money anywhere else. This product is top quality & cool looking and will exceed all of your expectations. Don't miss out on this amazing offer! Get yours today before it's too late.

This is only the 2nd record I've bought off Amazon that has no scratches or blemishes. The other was the Jimi Hendrix: Are Your Experienced. All others had blemishes or scratches. The record itself sounds excellent. Compared to the newer remastered digital FLAC file on Tidal, the record has a more laid back, better bass master sounding better than the FLAC file. Very impressed with this. This is being played on a Fluance Reference Series RT82 Turntable with an Ortofon OM 10 cart.

One of the best Albums I've heard!

Eddies guitar never sounded better on this remaster to 180 gm vinyl. DLS ‘s 0ne octave voice range never sounded better either.

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!

The record is in good condition. Unfortunately, it got bent on two corners in transit. Sucks but it looks good otherwise.

Van Halen, o álbum de estreia homônimo da lendária banda lançado em 10 de fevereiro de 1978 pela Warner Bros. Records, é simplesmente um dos discos mais influentes e eletrizantes da história do rock. Produzido por Ted Templeman e gravado em apenas dez dias no histórico Sunset Sound Recorders, em Hollywood, ele capturou uma energia crua, inovadora e absolutamente explosiva que mudou o jogo para sempre. Com riffs inesquecíveis, grooves envolventes e solos de guitarra que continuam a entusiasmar gerações de ouvintes e músicos, o disco apresenta a banda no seu momento mais visceral: Eddie Van Halen reinventando a guitarra elétrica com sua técnica revolucionária de two-handed tapping (que o mundo inteiro conheceu no icônico instrumental “Eruption”), Alex Van Halen com bateria precisa e pesada, Michael Anthony com baixo sólido e pulsante, e David Lee Roth com vocais carismáticos, irreverentes e cheios de atitude. Faixas como a abertura matadora “Runnin’ With The Devil”, a pesada e direta “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love”, a melódica “Jamie’s Cryin’”, o cover incendiário de “You Really Got Me” (dos Kinks) e o solo “Eruption” são verdadeiros hinos — cada uma carregando a assinatura inconfundível de Eddie Van Halen, cuja inovação ajudou a moldar o som do rock moderno e influenciou gerações inteiras de guitarristas. Mas o que realmente transforma essa obra-prima em algo ainda mais especial é ouvir no vinil. O formato analógico entrega um punch físico na bateria, um sustain infinito e brilhante na guitarra de Eddie, graves profundos e uma dinâmica agressiva que simplesmente não existe da mesma forma no streaming ou no CD. O som fica quente, vivo, selvagem e com uma presença de palco impressionante — você sente a banda tocando na sua sala. Quanto à compra, o LP chegou super rápido e muito bem embalado, em perfeito estado: vinil limpo, sem warping, cliques ou ruídos, encarte preservado e com cuidado evidente no envio. Da caixa chegando em casa até a agulha baixando no prato, a experiência foi impecável do início ao fim. Indispensável para fãs de rock, colecionadores de vinil e qualquer um que aprecie o impacto de um álbum que definiu uma era. Mais de 48 anos depois, ele continua fresco, poderoso, eletrizante e totalmente essencial. 5 estrelas sem hesitar!

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!!

Purchased for my nephew,my bruv in law and myself are educating him on rock music. He loves it,as he should!!! Absolute classic from my childhood.

Le son de van Halen,des vieux souvenirs c'est le premier de van Halen et à la première écoute c'est juste l'énorme clac mieux avoir du gros son et a font le son.
