Description

Van Halen first album: 2006 RTI test pressing for 2008 Warner Bros reissue.  This copy is a pristine mint condition test pressing; played only a couple of times for pressing approval.  This record is radiant in its sound.  In the U.S., ships from OH; packaged securely. From the AllMusic 5-star (out of 5!) review: "Among revolutionary rock albums, Van Halen's debut often gets short shrift. 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, but part of the reason it's never given the same due is that there's no pretension, nothing self-conscious about it."
