Early in 2015, the Van Halen camp released remasters of the Van Halen debut (1978), and 1984 (1984). Those were presented in variable packages. Now, on July 10, the band will continue further into their catalog with the remastered reissues of Van Halen II (1979), Women And Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1981), and Diver Down (1982).
The new remasters are being done by Chris Bellman, who had done earlier remasters. They will be reissued via Rhino Records.
Those four titles will not only be available on CD. but will also release as DD and 180g vinyl LP.
We already knew (more or less) that these four titles were next, but we didn’t have a date. Now you do.
Just a correction on the Van Halen 1984 album. The release year was 1983, not 1984.
Love your column!
