Van Halen

For the first time ever, Rhino expands a Van Halen studio album.  A 2CD/2LP/Blu-ray edition revisits For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, the group's ninth album and penultimate with lead singer Sammy Hagar, who'd taken over from David Lee Roth in 1985. As a major upstart rock act of the late '70s and one of the biggest of the '80s, Van Halen had something to prove on their first disc of the '90s - and this set delivers some intriguing bonus material from the era. Paired with the original album (recently remastered by Donn Landee for the Hagar-era The Collection II box) is a bonus disc featuring the rare single mix of "Right Now," an unreleased alternate mix of the same track, an unissued instrumental of "The Dream is Over" and a 10-track live set recorded in Dallas, Texas at the end of 1991. Footage of that set is also featured on an accompanying Blu-ray Disc, which also features four music videos. The remastered album is also included on vinyl for the set, pressed across three sides with an etching on the fourth.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
