"Remastered Directly From The Analogue Master Recordings! First released in 1979, 'Van Halen II' was the blistering sophomore studio album by hard rockers Van Halen. The album peaked at number 6 on the Billboard charts and spawned the hit singles "Dance the Night Away" and "Beautiful Girls." To date, 'Van Halen II' has sold over five million copies in the United States. Mastering engineer Chris Bellman, who remastered the original albums for Bernie Grundman Studios, Hollywood, CA, was enlisted for this new version. In order to produce the original sound the band intended, Bellman cut straight from the quarter-inch tapes. Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, Van Halen changed the rock and roll landscape forever with the release of their influential and wildly successful eponymous debut album in 1978; an album that would go on to define a generation and sell more than 10 million copies in the US. The band then subsequently produced a repertoire of hits that remain some of the strongest and most influential rock songs ever written that fans will admire for decades to come. With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide, and more No. 1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart than any other artist, the band's record of achievement is hard to top." -- Jbhifi.com.au
