Album notes
Van Halen: David Lee Roth (vocals); Eddie Van Halen (guitar, background vocals); Michael Anthony (bass, background vocals); Alex Van Halen (drums, background vocals).
Recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood, California in 1978.
In 1978, Pasadena's Van Halen released its debut album and shook the rock world to its foundations. VAN HALEN, featuring the fiery fretwork of Eddie Van Halen, and the talented howling of David Lee Roth, gave a kick-start to the moribund heavy rock genre. As Kiss turned disco and Black Sabbath sank in a morass of drugs and alcohol, Van Halen adopted a blues base, added a metal sheen, and created a sound that remains influential today.
Michael Anthony's thumping bass line, followed by Alex Van Halen's hi-hat and Eddie Van Halen's first chord, heralds "Runnin' With the Devil," Roth's tale of excess. "Eruption" follows, the guitar solo here a breakthrough in speed and creativity. In addition Van Halen takes the Kinks' classic "You Really Got Me" to new heights on its metal version. The melodic structure remains intact, while the band adds crunch and Diamond Dave's sexy patter. Including the catchy "Jamie's Cryin'" and bluesy "Ice Cream Man", there is absolutely no filler on VAN HALEN, one of the finest rookie efforts by a musical act.

Editorial reviews
Included in Q's Best Metal Albums Of All Time - ...Eddie Van Halen reinvented rock guitar on his band's debut....America's favorite party band....this dazzling debut remains their trump card.
Q  (08/01/2000)

5 stars out of 5 - Eddie crammed a whole season of soap-opera plot twists into every solo, making liberal use of the whammy bar but never losing the melody.
Rolling Stone  

Van Halen combined a dazzling live show with a party-hearty motto...
Kerrang

This is one of the most important debut albums in rock history, surpassed only by Led Zeppelin and Guns N Roses in my opinion. From Runnin' With The Devil to Ain't Talkin' Bout Love to You Really Got Me to Jamie's Cryin', this CD is awesome first note to last. Disc is in great condition for it's age with some light surface markings but plays perfectly throughout, case and insert great also. Will gently ship.
