1984
Used Import - P-11369
Beautiful 1983 Japanese Pressing With Obi & Insert, No Sticker Sheet. Glossy Vinyl, Tiny Corner Dings. "At The Time Of Its Release, Much Of The Fuss Surrounding 1984 Involved Van Halen's Adoption Of Synthesizers On This, Their Sixth Album -- A Hoopla That Was A Bit Of A Red Herring Since The Band Had Been Layering In Synths Since Their Third Album, Women And Children First. Those Synths Were Either Buried Beneath Guitars Or Used As Texture, Even On Instrumentals Where They Were The Main Instrument, But Here They Were Pushed To The Forefront On "Jump," The Album's First Single And One Of The Chief Reasons This Became A Blockbuster, Crossing Over To Pop Audiences Van Halen Had Flirted With Before But Had Never Quite Won Over. Of Course, The Mere Addition Of A Synth Wasn't Enough To Rope In Fair-weather Fans -- They Needed Pop Hooks And Pop Songs, Which 1984 Had, Most Gloriously On The Exuberant, Timeless "Jump." There, The Synths Played A Circular Riff That Wouldn't Have Sounded As Overpowering On Guitar, But The Band Didn't Dispense With Their Signature Monolithic, Pulsating Rock. Alex Van Halen And Michael Anthony Grounded The Song, Keeping It From Floating To Pop, And David Lee Roth Simply Exploded With Boundless Energy, Making This Seem Rock & Roll No Matter How Close It Got To Pop. And "Jump" Was About As Close As 1984 Got To Pop, As The Other Seven Songs -- With The Exception Of "I'll Wait," Which Rides Along On A Synth Riff As Chilly As "Jump" Is Warm -- Are Heavy Rock, Capturing The Same Fiery Band That's Been Performing With A Brutal Intensity Since Women And Children First. But Where Those Albums Placed An Emphasis On The Band's Attack, This Places An Emphasis On The Songs, And They're Uniformly Terrific, The Best Set Of Original Tunes Van Halen Ever Had. Surely, The Anthems "Panama" And "Hot For Teacher" Grab Center Stage -- How Could They Not, When The Former Is The Band's Signature Sound Elevated To Performance Art, With The Latter Being As Lean And Giddy, Their One Anthem That Could Be Credibly Covered By Garage Rockers? -- But "Top Jimmy," "Drop Dead Legs," And The Dense Yet Funky Closer, "House Of Pain," Are Full-fledged Songs, With Great Riffs And Hooks In The Guitars And Vocals. It's The Best Showcase Of Van Halen's Instrumental Prowess As A Band, The Best Showcase For Diamond Dave's Glorious Shtick, The Best Showcase For Their Songwriting, Just Their Flat-out Best Album Overall. It's A Shame That Roth Left After This Album, But Maybe It's For The Best, Since There's No Way Van Halen Could Have Bettered This Album With Dave Around (And They Didn't Better It Once Sammy Joined, Either)." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine.

1984
Used Import - 92-3985-1
1984 German import with inner sleeve. 1984 is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released in January 1984. The album was a huge commercial success, reaching number two on the US Billboard 200, and selling more than 10 million copies in the US alone. It is widely regarded as one of the band's best albums and a classic of the 1980s hard rock genre.
The album features some of Van Halen's biggest hits, including "Jump," which became their first and only song to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Other standout tracks include the guitar-heavy "Panama," the energetic "Hot for Teacher," and the haunting instrumental "1984." The album showcases the band's virtuosic musicianship, with Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing particularly standing out. Overall, 1984 is a must-listen for any rock music fan, and a testament to Van Halen's place in the pantheon of great rock bands.

1984 = MCMLXXXIV
Picture Disc - Used - FLWB-6226
1984 Original picture disc in plastic sleeve with printed titles. This rare picture disc features some of the band's most well-known songs, including "Jump," "Panama," and "Hot for Teacher," which have become staples of classic rock radio.
The album was produced by Ted Templeman and recorded at Eddie Van Halen's 5150 home studio. It was the last album to feature David Lee Roth as the lead vocalist until his return in 2007.
The album's sound features a blend of hard rock, heavy metal, and pop influences, with Eddie Van Halen's virtuosic guitar playing and synthesizer work being particularly noteworthy. The album's iconic cover art, featuring a baby smoking a cigarette, has also become a cultural touchstone.
1984 has been well-received by critics and fans alike, with many considering it to be one of Van Halen's best albums. Its blend of catchy hooks, impressive musicianship, and infectious energy has helped cement its place in rock music history.

Diver Down
Used - LP - R1 670902
2022 Limited Edition Reissue With Printed Inner Sleeve & Replica Backstage Pass. Small Beginning Of A Top Seam Split & Corner Crease. "Fair Warning Was Such A Dark, Intense Record That Van Halen Almost Had No Choice But To Lighten Up On Their Next Album, And 1982's Diver Down Is Indeed Much Lighter Than Its Predecessor. In Many Ways, It's A Return To The Early Albums, Heavy On Covers And Party Anthems, But Where Those Records Were Rough And Exuberant -- They Felt Like The Work Of The World's Best Bar Band Just Made Good, Which Is, Of Course, Kind Of What They Were -- This Is Undoubtedly The Work Of A Finely Honed Band Who Has Only Grown Tighter And Heavier Since Their Debut. As A Band, They Might Be Tight, But Diver Down Is Anything But Tight. It's A Downright Mess, Barely Clocking In At 31 Minutes, Cobbled Together Out Of Five Covers, Two Minute-long Instrumentals, And Five New Songs. By Most Measures, This Should Be The Kind Of Slop That's Difficult To Muddle Through, But It's Not: It's One Of Van Halen's Best Records, One That's Just Pure Joy To Hear. Like The Debut, It's A Great Showcase For All The Group's Strengths, From Eddie Van Halen's Always Thrilling Guitar To The Bedrock Foundation Of Alex Van Halen And Michael Anthony's Throbbing Pulse To, Of Course, David Lee Roth's Strut. Each Member Gets Places To Shine And, In A Way, Covers Showcase Their Skills In A Way None Of The Originals Does, Since They Get To Twist "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Dancing In The Street," And "Where Have All The Good Times Gone" Inside Out, All The Better To Make Them Their Own. But This Isn't Complacent; Van Halen Is Stretching Out In Different Ways, Funneling The Menace Of Fair Warning Into The Ominous Instrumental "Intruder," Playing With The Whiplash Fury Of A Punk Band On "Hang 'em High," And Honing Their Pop Skills On The Bright, New Wavey Rock Of "Little Guitars" And The Sweet "Secrets," Which Displays The Lightest Touch They've Ever Had On Record. Combine That With The Full-throttle Attack On The Covers, Along With Dave's Vaudevillian Song And Dance On "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)" -- A Shtick That's Electrified On The Equally Fun "The Full Bug" -- And The Result Is A Record That's Nothing But Fun, The Polar Opposite Of Its Predecessor."

Fair Warning
Used - LP - HS 3540
1981 2nd pressing reissue on the "ghost" sheild WB label, no rim text. Close to NM; Light imprint from the original poly inner sleeve. "Of all the early Van Halen records, Fair Warning often gets overlooked -- partially because it's a dark, strange beast, partially because it lacks any song as purely fun as the hits from the first three records. Because of that, there were no hits from Fair Warning that turned into radio anthems; only "Unchained" and, to a lesser extent, the grinding opener, "Mean Street," rank among the group's best-known songs, and they're not as monumental as "And the Cradle Will Rock," from the preceding album, Women and Children First. There's a reason for that: this album ain't a whole lotta fun. Fair Warning is the first Van Halen album that doesn't feel like a party. This may be a reflection of the band's relentless work schedule, it may be a reflection of the increasing tension between Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth -- the cause isn't important, because whatever the reason, Fair Warning winds up as a dark, dirty, nasty piece of work. Gloomy it may be, but dull it is not and Fair Warning contains some of the fiercest, hardest music that Van Halen ever made. There's little question that Eddie Van Halen won whatever internal skirmishes they had, since his guitar dominates this record, even with the lack of a single dedicated instrumental showcase (the first time he lacked one on a VH album). Eddie sounds restless here, pushing and pulling the group toward different rhythms and textures, from the disco beat that pulsates on "Push Comes to Shove" to the swinging rhythms on "So This Is Love?" and, especially, the murky synths that comprise the instrumental "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" and the grimy, gunky closing rocker, "One Foot Out the Door." Either inspired or spurred on by the gloomy rock Eddie cranked out, David Lee Roth casts his net far wider than his usual litany of girls and good times. He spits and swears, swaggering without his usual joie de vivre, with even his sex songs feeling weary and nasty. Whatever spawned it, that nastiness is the defining characteristic of Fair Warning, which certainly doesn't make it bunches of fun, but it showcases the coiled power of Van Halen better than any other album, which makes it worth visiting on occasion."

Although It Altered Perceptions Of What The Guitar Could Do, It Is Not Spoken Of In The Same Reverential Tones As Are You Experienced? And Although It Set The Template For How Rock & Roll Sounded For The Next Decade Or More, It Isn't Seen As An Epochal Generational Shift, Like Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, Or Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols, Which Was Released Just The Year Before. But Make No Mistake, Van Halen Is As Monumental, As Seismic As Those Records.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG.

Van Halen II
New - LP - RR1 3312 • 81227954932
Sealed 2019 Remastered Reissue On 180gm Vinyl, Cut From The Original Analog Master Tapes By Chris Bellman At Bernie Grundman. "It's Called Van Halen Ii Not Just Because It's The Band's Second Album But Because It's Virtually A Carbon Copy Of Their 1978 Debut, Right Down To How The Band Showcases Their Prowess Via Covers And How Eddie Van Halen Gets A Brief, Shining Moment To Showcase His Guitar Genius. This Time, He Does His Thing On Acoustic Guitars On The Remarkable "Spanish Fly," But That Temporary Shift From Electrics To Acoustics Is The Only True Notable Difference In Attack Here; In Every Other Way, Van Halen Ii Feels Like Its Predecessor, Even If There Are Subtle Differences. First, There's Only One Cover This Time Around -- Betty Everett's "You're No Good," Surely Learned From Linda Ronstadt -- And This Feels Both Heavier And Lighter Than The Debut. Heavier In That This Sounds Big And Powerful, Driven By Mastodon Riffs That Aim Straight Of The Gut. Lighter In That There's A Nimbleness To The Attack, In That There Are Pop Hooks To The Best Songs, In That The Group Sounds Emboldened By Their Success So They're Swaggering With A Confidence That's Alluring. If The Classic Ratio Is Slightly Lighter Than On The Debut, There Are No Bad Songs And The Best Moments Here -- Two Bona Fide Party Anthems In "Dance The Night Away" And "Beautiful Girls," Songs That Embody Everything The Band Was About -- Are Lighter, Funnier Than Anything On The Debut, Showcases For Both Diamond Dave's Knowing Shuck And Jive And Eddie's Phenomenal Gift, So Natural It Seems To Just Flow Out Of Him. At This Point, It's Hard Not To Marvel At These Two Frontmen, And Hard Not To Be Sucked Into The Vortex Of Some Of The Grandest Hard Rock Ever Made." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine.

Van Halen II
Used - LP - HS 3312
Early '80s Reissue On Shield Label, With Custom Inner Sleeve. Shrink Wrap Intact. Clean, Glossy NM- Vinyl. "It's Called Van Halen II Not Just Because It's The Band's Second Album But Because It's Virtually A Carbon Copy Of Their 1978 Debut, Right Down To How The Band Showcases Their Prowess Via Covers And How Eddie Van Halen Gets A Brief, Shining Moment To Showcase His Guitar Genius. This Time, He Does His Thing On Acoustic Guitars On The Remarkable "Spanish Fly," But That Temporary Shift From Electrics To Acoustics Is The Only True Notable Difference In Attack Here; In Every Other Way, Van Halen II Feels Like Its Predecessor, Even If There Are Subtle Differences. First, There's Only One Cover This Time Around -- Betty Everett's "You're No Good," Surely Learned From Linda Ronstadt -- And This Feels Both Heavier And Lighter Than The Debut. Heavier In That This Sounds Big And Powerful, Driven By Mastodon Riffs That Aim Straight Of The Gut. Lighter In That There's A Nimbleness To The Attack, In That There Are Pop Hooks To The Best Songs, In That The Group Sounds Emboldened By Their Success So They're Swaggering With A Confidence That's Alluring. If The Classic Ratio Is Slightly Lighter Than On The Debut, There Are No Bad Songs And The Best Moments Here -- Two Bona Fide Party Anthems In "Dance The Night Away" And "Beautiful Girls," Songs That Embody Everything The Band Was About -- Are Lighter, Funnier Than Anything On The Debut, Showcases For Both Diamond Dave's Knowing Shuck And Jive And Eddie's Phenomenal Gift, So Natural It Seems To Just Flow Out Of Him.

Van Halen III
New - CD - 9 46858-2
New 1998 Limited Edition CD housed in a metal box, with cards that contain six slots each that may be connected in several different ways.
Also comes with a Van Halen III sticker and a Van Halen guitar pick. The album marked the departure of lead vocalist Sammy Hagar and the arrival of Gary Cherone, the former lead singer of Extreme. With Cherone, the band experimented with a more experimental and diverse sound, incorporating elements of jazz, funk, and pop.
The album received mixed reviews from critics and fans, with some praising the band's attempt to evolve their sound while others criticized Cherone's vocals and the lack of the trademark Van Halen guitar solos. Despite debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200, the album's sales quickly declined and it was considered a commercial disappointment. However, Van Halen III remains a notable entry in the band's discography and a testament to their willingness to take risks and explore new musical territory.
