Van Halen - Women And Children First - VINYL LP

Dire Straits / LOVE OVER GOLD - original album on 180 gram vinyl. Dire Strait's fourth album finds the band continuing to evolve by welcoming increasingly bold arrangements and exploring moody variations. The five lengthy songs on Love Over Gold sprawl out like a long, winding road cutting through a pastoral landscape. The addition of a new rhythm guitarist, Hal Lindes, encourages deeper atmospheric interplay while the presence of engineer Neil Dorfsman - his first appearance in what would be a long string of collaborations with Mark Knopfler - ensures stunning sonic properties. Album Tracks 1. Telegraph Road 2. Private Investigations 1. Industrial Disease 2. Love Over Gold 3. It Never Rains

Limited 180 gm vinyl LP pressing. With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what the electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-on's, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over the top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards. Mastering engineer Chris Bellman, who remastered the original albums at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios, was enlisted for this new version. In order to produce the original sound the band intended, Bellman cut straight from the quarter-inch tapes. Album Tracks 1. Runnin' with the Devil (2015 Remastered Version) 2.

MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES AND PRESSED ON MOFI SUPERVINYL FOR A DEFINITIVE LISTENING EXPERIENCEVan Halen vocalist David Lee Roth says it all on the second song of the band's third album - and third consecutive smash in less than three years time. 'Everybody wants some!,' he declares before immediately querying, 'Baby, how 'bout, you?' Roth and the rest of Van Halen already knew the answer. The quartet further confirmed it's status as America's leading rock band and principal party starters on Women and Children First while heading in harder, heavier directions with thrilling songs that Rolling Stone scribe David Fricke rightly deemed 'works of high-volume art.' Mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and strictly limited and numbered, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set of the triple-platinum effort ensures demand for the 1980 record has never been higher.
